On the second one however, it didn’t work this way. The Normal state picks up the opacity of the button, but the Hover state is always 100% opacity. The problem is that even when the button itself is invisible, the Hover state shows up at 100% opacity if you hover on it.

In Safari (and other browsers), I am seeing the hover state of my button throughout the banner’s running time. (The hover state is a rectangle that says “Join The Group”.) That is incorrect. It should not be visible until the button has faded in.
I notice in the first banner the whole banner is clickable. and in the second not, just the button. This might be stopping the button in the first not showing. Also, there seems to be a longer area that is clickable over the button. Do you have this in a group or symbol?
It’s difficult to help without seeing the document.
*EDIT @davidrhoden
check that the hover state is at 0% opacity in your main timeline or at the beginning of the animation. The states work independent of each other during timelines.
