That's bizarre. I've tried on a completely uncustomised emacs/gnus,
apart from (setq mm-verify-option 'always), and I get the same result:
by default, when a PGP-signed article is displayed, gnus verifies the
signature but doesn't show the button. Only if you verify
interactively with gnus-summary-force-security-verify-or-decrypt does
it show it.

The code confirms this: gnus-buttonized-mime-types is nil, and so
gnus-mime-display-security doesn't display the button.
Whereas gnus-summary-force-verify-and-decrypt sets
gnus-buttonized-mime-types to ("multipart/signed"
"multipart/encrypted") before calling gnus-mime-display-security.

Indeed, the documentation for gnus-buttonized-mime-types says "To see
e.g. security buttons you could set this to `(\"multipart/signed\")'."
When I do that it works...

So I'll restate my "defeats the purpose" statement: setting
(setq mm-verify-option 'always)
is useless if you don't set 
(setq gnus-buttonized-mime-types '("multipart/signed"))
as well.
