I'm bitten by this bug/feature too, have been for years.

I think this mostly (only?) happens when I reply to a reply. It seems
Gnus gets confused about the not *one* but _two_ signatures that may be
in the message it tries to wrap around, adding yet a third. 

I blame the other user's mail client (well, duh) that did not strip my
signature when it replied.

My workaround is to create a block (ctrl space etcetera) inside the
reply and quote-reply to that, bypassing/removing all signatures.

I decided to test that a bit, and I think I got it wrong, ignore what I
just wrote please. Like Cecil says, the mistake 'wrong side of point'
seems to be caused by lines that contain a > followed by just a space
and not some quoted text.

This works:

But this borks on the second line:
