Definitely doesn't sound right. We also have the manual rear tailgate and never has the unlock button (on fob or on dash) caused the rear tailgate to partially open. While it will unlock the rear tailgate it is still firmly closed. You have to manually press the button on the tailgate to open it.

Seems there is an issue with the tailgate button and/or locking mechanism. My bet is on a faulty tailgate button, it's not releasing the lock as it should. When you open via the fob tailgate button it bypasses the actual tailgate button and probably tells the locks to release and then you are good to open.

For what it's worth, this is the first I have seen this complaint on the forum. Hopefully it's an easy fix.
