In my own case the newsreader I use, Hogwasher, allows one to create

such behavior generally true of other newsreaders?

Hogwasher is the only newsreader I know of that does that.

But there are other news [readers] that allow one to read a message in one
news group - and it is marked as read in every subscribed news group.

MT-NewsWatcher does that.
