Issue description

is_hovered() on a Button returns false when the mouse is over the button (after mouse_entered) and true when not (after mouse_exited), opposite of documented behavior.

• Signals (mouse_entered, mouse_exited) fire correctly.
• Issue is reproducible in a minimal project.

Steps to reproduce

• Create a new Godot 4.4.1 project.
• Add a Node with a Button child (or create Button via script).
• Attach the provided script.
• Run the scene, hover over the button, and observe console output.

Confirmed in v4.5.dev.custom_build [00beda9], with the additional note that the incorrect values only occur inside the event handlers. If you defer a check to run after in any way I tried, the values will be correct, so this seems like a sequencing problem between the signal firing and the state being updated.
