It wouldn't to me - no access tags on the gate would imply to me that 
nothing had been recorded about whether it was normally open or closed, 
or locked so that it couldn't be opened.

If everyone else has the same understanding as you, perhaps someone 
needs to update http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dgate so 
that it doesn't say "...which can be opened to allow or restrict access"?

Cheers,
Andy
