Gnomes having a Charisma bonus makes sense if they're supposed to be tricksters (and being flashy or beautiful is not the definition of Charisma). One example would be that Bluff is a Charisma skill.
 



Despite which, gnomes get a Charisma bonus and eladrin don't...

Charisma doesn't mean being noticeable when you don't want to be. It's about having control over how others percieve you, for better or worse.

Don't forget, after all, that Disguise, in 3e, as well as Streetwise in 4e, are both Charisma-based skills. There's more than one way to go undetected.

Someone with a very low Charisma tends to stick out when they would least like to and be ignored when they're rather be noticed. It's sort of an odd concept, but makes some degree of sense.
