The names and the labels for each button are the same?  Other than the one
with the question mark which is named tile1# in the same pattern as the
others, but has the "?" label?

As mentioned above, it sounds like the name of some of your buttons may be
duplicates.

After triple checking that again, you might grab the stable version of the
6.1.1 (Or jump to 6.6.2?)  Maybe theres something funky going on with the
6.1.1 rc 4 version. Did notice in the rc5 bug fixes that when cloning a
group, revuniqueids are not updated correctly for the groups child
controls. Don't know if you have cloned groups of buttons but thought i'd
throw it out there.
