This is one of countless bugs in iOS 7.

For some reason the backgroundView is moved by iOS over the delete button. You can work-around this by subclassing your backgroundView and implementing the setFrame function of your derived view like this:

- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:@"7.0" options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending) {
        // background view covers delete button on iOS 7 !?!
        [super setFrame:CGRectMake(0, frame.origin.y, frame.size.width, frame.size.height)];
    } else {
        [super setFrame:frame];
    }
}

As a side note: you can avoid the need for a separate sublayer by subclassing and implementing layerClass in your derived view:

+ (Class)layerClass
{
    return [CAGradientLayer class];
}
