The "selected" face?  You mean the "undownloaded" face?

But otherwise, this appears to be the desired behavior.

This is strange indeed.  Especially since gnus-select-article-hook is
supposed to run every time you select an article, and
gnus-mark-article-hook only sometimes.  So why does
gnus-mark-article-hook do more when you select ticked articles than
gnus-select-article-hook?

Weird.
