Just a bit more info on this.  Evaluating your code does not allow those
keys to call those commands for some reason.  However if I just call the
actual commands (gnus-summary-hide-thread/gnus-summary-show-thread) with
cursor on part of a thread then it works fine.

Am I doing this wrong in some way?

I've inserted Tassilos' code into .gnus and evaluated .gnus, I've
evaluated your code right on your post.  Still the <> keys do not
respond.
