Removing models from the table is NOT a move, so you can remove them from CC with GoI.

They are not locked in combat, so they can DS as normal.

Bottom line though the rules could be written better, so ask your TO, or discuss it with your group.

No it is not, as it is not using any of the mechanics of a "Move" as laid out in the BRB.

Or it is, and it is required to do so once you cast the power.

Casting the power is allowed by the rules.

it can also be argued that a requirement to do something (remove the model as a casualty) over-rides the rule that prevents you from voluntarily doing something... because you're not choosing to do it, you're forced to.

Except you were not forced to cast Gate. You are performing a voluntary action that WILL result in breaking a rule, so you cannot perform that action.

You are allowed to cast gate, and then it forces you to remove the models from the table. No rules broken, as there is an allowance to cast gate on a unit in CC.

Suprised no one has mentioned the Ork psyhic power, that grants permission to leave CC and is teleporting using the deepstriking rules isnt it?

It is similar, but unlike Gate it's not voluntary.
An Ork Wierdboy MUST roll on the powers chart.
The power even handles how to use it when in close combat, where as Gate does not.

you can use gate of infinity in close combat. This is not a move. and you can use psychic powers in close combat.

You can use some psychic powers in close combat.
You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't break any rules, the issue here is will using Gate break the "no moves" rule.
Can you explain why you think this is not a move?
Deep striking is most definitely a move.
It could be argued that removing from play is not a move.
Then there's the broad view, in that the unit is no longer where is was, so has in fact moved.

Does Gate say that you use gate instead of normal movement?
Wouldn't that mean, that since you don't have normal movement being locked in combat, that you can't choose to trade for something you don't have?

The deep strike rules say the model counts as having moved in the previous movement phase.

It didn't have permission to do this, so I'm not sure why it could, as there is no rule allowing it to, but there is one specifically saying it can't.

Most play it as they can do it, but I personally think that is wrong.

MarkyMark, other than GoI, every ability that allows you to use it while locked in close combat ('Ere We Go, Skyleap, Hit & Run, think I'm missing one or two others) specifically allow it to be used in close combat and tells you what the enemy models do.
