The button behavior is based on default browser settings. No specification describes how specific user agent should render such cases. Webkit differs from Gecko, but is very similar to Presto (Opera) rendering. 

IMO the Webkit rendering is far better than Gecko if you consider this example: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0A%3Cinput%20value%3D%22Button%22%20style%3D%22background%3A%20white%3B%22%20type%3D%22button%22%3E%0A%0A 

White button on white background. In this case on Gecko you are unable to see top and left border. 

I resolve this issue as WONTFIX.

BTW. I appreciate your feedback regarding Webkit rendering, but you should remember to strictly follow reporting guidelines: http://webkit.org/quality/reporting.html According to this guidelines you should test your issues in the latest Webkit nightly! Your Webkit nightly is almost a month old! For such dynamic project as Webkit your version is ancient. 

I also strongly advise to test your issues in Firefox 3. Firefox 2 has many bugs already fixed in Firefox 3. In most cases Firefox 3 rendering follows Webkit rendering and vice versa. So to avoid confusion please test web pages in this version of Firefox.
