Though it may not be your taste, this makes it position the cursor
properly:

(gnus-add-configuration
 '(article
   (horizontal 1.0
               (vertical 100 (summary 1.0 point))
               (vertical 1.0
                         (article 1.0)))))

To ensure that the article window appears, I guess some Gnus
function uses this form

(gnus-configure-windows 'article)

and assumes that the summary window is focused after that.  It's
obviously a bug, however seems to be hard to fix.  For instance,
the `h' command (gnus-article-show-summary) doesn't work as usual
with your configuration (i.e., there's no `point' in the summary
section).  I have no idea to fix even such a simple function so far.
