I'm not 100% this is a bug or just my bad coding.  But the font size works on
text in a span but not on a button - I believe it did at one time.

Here is a simple example:

<html>
 <head>
  <style>
   #right { font-size: 8pt; }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>
  <span id="right">working pt</span>
  <form>
   <INPUT type="button" value="Not working pt" id="right">
  </form>
 </body>
</html>

If :-moz-buttonlabel is a pseudo-element, then the problem is likely the design
of html.css.  Some of the declarations in rules with selector
input[type=button]:-moz-buttonlabel
should instead be given the selector
input[type=button]

However, if -moz-buttonlabel is a pseudoclass, then this won't help.

Setting severity to critical
Okay, probing a little deeper on this, I found that the font-size on a button
does actually work, but the default font for a button is apparently different
than the default font for the browser.  This caused a perception problem since
not all fonts are created equal in size (a 12pt helvetica is not the same size
as a 12pt times).  After modifying the original testcase to change the font to
6pt and set up a "with" and "without" style setting for both span and button, I
discovered the size does in fact change *and* that's when I noticed they were
two different fonts.
