Form controls, but given that <button> is currently a replaced element in
Mozilla our behavior is correct....

Confirmed with the above nightly.  Like the poster in Comment #1, I'm not sure
this is a bug, but I've created a testcase for the behavior.  Opera and IE do
indeed display at the original reporter expected.
