You could make your own buttons with css.

I'm not aware of any 'one size fits all' fix for this. However, using conditional comments, one may apply a specific style or styles to a specific button in IE to compensate. IE allows for use of expressions, so the length of the button's value may be employed to aid in its styling in IE.

In simplest terms, define the button's width and border as desired.

But, I might add that all form elements are rendered a bit differently in the various browsers and operating systems, making them (more than most elements) something you generally should just let the browser/OS do as it pleases with. Also, button with a value (the visible text on the button) longer than 18 characters (the length required to manifest this bug in IE) is unusual, and should in most cases be able to be avoided.
