Well, the red position feels a bit more sketchy to me, because the portion of the carab right above the gate isn't hooked or attached to the rest of the carabiner. If the carabiner is loaded across the gate, the gate is still attached to the carab through the hook or keylock at the nose, but the nose can be folded backwards and it won't have a hook attaching it to the gate.
I don't know if this is clear, I'll try to post an image later
