OK, so the labelling is wrong - very minor bug in the Dev Environment.

No, I want the color of the text to change while the mouse is down and 
change back when the mouse comes back up. I thought this was part of button 
behaviour, but if it's not then fair enough, I'll do it by script when I 
need to.

Another v. minor bug, IMHO.
