I agree. It looks off to have that gap there above the line sitting there empty instead of filling it with the edit buttons. As mentioned already, it needlessly spreads out elements to push the beginning of the article content further down the page. People are coming to the wiki for the content, so to replace content with whitespace is nonsensical in this instance.

Look, I quite like the idea of moving the edit and talk buttons away from the end of the title, either to the row below or right align them so that they are in the same place relatively speaking on each page, but under the horizontal line just looks and feels wrong. Everything under that line and above the categories module has traditionally been editable, so to put those buttons there which cannot be moved for obvious reasons is just silly. It also moves the infobox further down the page, leaving a gap above it which looks crap as the infobox is meant to reach up to just under the horizontal line to show that it's at the beginning of the page. These moved buttons look especially out of place in the content area when the title is short enough to leave a perfectly edit-and-talk-button sized gap just above the line. Considering that most non-answers wikis have most of their page titles short enough to fit on one line, and so will leave that gap, it would make more sense to fill that space with those buttons. That way, having the buttons on a separate line works to emphasise the title while not leaving unnecessary whitespace, and not pushing the content down any further than it has to. Is there any reason this couldn't be done?
