This works as they intended in the nightly builds of what will be Camino 2 (which is the earliest we will be changing the styleability of buttons), so closing as WFM.

The reason that this doesn't work in 1.6 is that we don't allow styling of <input type="button"> prior to Camino 2, and they didn't bother to actually give a text label to that button, despite the fact that the CSS spec is very clear that styling form elements is optional. You might want to let the webmaster of the site know that they are making the page work incorrectly in standards-compliant browsers.
