Fascinating!  I have had a similar issue involving
gnus-treat-strip-trailing-blank-lines.  I haven't gotten to the bottom of
it yet.

If I have this:

(setq
 gnus-treat-hide-signature t
 gnus-treat-strip-leading-blank-lines t
 gnus-treat-strip-multiple-blank-lines t
 gnus-treat-strip-trailing-blank-lines t)

then I can't unhide the signatures of certain messages--most notably mail
from majordomo.  If I set gnus-treat-strip-trailing-blank-lines to nil,
then everything works as expected.  The problem only occurs when
gnus-treat-strip-trailing-blank-lines is t before I read the article.  I
can't reproduce the problem by running
gnus-article-remove-trailing-blank-lines from the Summary buffer.  A sample
majordomo message is attached.

This doesn't help my situation.
