Hm, this is true even if it is pinned...

So the reason why this happens is that we dont allow hidden bones to be active (It is prevented from the Outliner, also check ED_armature_edit_validate_active). This is not in line with other things in blender (hidden stuff can still be active, just not selected...)

Asked around in chat and @dr.sybren agrees this should be changed: "I'd say that's a misunderstanding of the UI rules, then. There is no other reason, and being more in line with the rest of Blender is definitely a good reason to change the current implementation."
