No, that variable is never used, I think.

Ah.  Yes.  

(defvar gnus-button-alist 
  `(...
    ("<URL:\\([^\n\r>]*\\)>" 0 t ,browse-url-browser-function 1)
    ...))

Which means that this variable is set to whatever
`browse-url-browser-function' is at load time.  This is probably not a
good idea.  I'll fix it in 0.17.
