That's because the latch (for opening and closing by hand) and the lock (from the lock status of the car's security system) are separate. The latch is a spring-loaded two-state latch, and the lock is just a slide-lock.
So, if the lock is locked and you go manually press the gas door it "opens" the latch, but the lock holds the door closed. Then when you hit the unlock the latch finishes springing open.
