I can confirm this behavior. I'm not sure why this is happening and if
this is actually a bug in Gnus or in Emacs. I always thought that the
user commands for cursor navigation would skip over hidden text, but in
the first column in the line after the button, the point position is
indeed on the beginning of the hidden citation, usually containing a
">".

I tried putting the hidden text directly after the button (i.e. in the
same line). It is still accessible, but it would be at a line ending and
not at the beginning of the next line, which I guess would at least
solve the above problem?

Other suggestions?
