Correct! `describe-char' revealed it is `widget-button' I should
configure, not `gnus-button'. Perhaps some inheritance issue? The
reason I tried with `gnus-button' is that that was the answer I
got with the below function to detect face. Perhaps it is not
reliable?

(defun what-face (pos)
  (interactive "d")
  (let ((face (or (get-char-property (point) 'read-face-name)
                  (get-char-property (point) 'face))))
    (if face (message "Face: %s" face)
      (message "No face at %d." pos) )))
