So far as I can tell, the problem is the former --
`gnus-configure-posting-styles' is called before `message-reply-headers'
is set.
Both `message-reply' and `message-followup' first call
`message-pop-to-buffer' (which ends up calling `message-mode' and thus
the `message-mode-hooks', and thus `gnus-configure-posting-styles').
Then they set `message-reply-headers'.
Then they call `message-setup', which calls `message-setup-1', which
runs the `message-setup-hook', which would be a spot where
`message-reply-headers' would be accessible.
I will check and see if this changed sometime recently.
I would say that posting-style configuration could be moved to the
`message-setup-hook', except that that would be guaranteed to wreck all
manner of existing configurations and get us lots of angry emails.
But... I think that's the issue.
