I think that you must agree that with the weave of some materials it would not take a large slit in the material for the base of these fastener brackets to be pushed through, in fact on most of the smaller button types the base of the triangle is at times around 4 to 5 mm and even smaller with the types that have a circular stitching loop to them.
Then when fitted on the inside of the garment they may well have been sewn all the way around the triangle bracket that makes the button very securely fitted to the inside of the garment with even very little if no hole seen at all, then with shorter thongs or loops to go tight over the button there could even be an overlap at the edges of the garment that would make it even more tidy.
