I kindof disagree.  If the text and the value both fit well, then
they're pretty easy to visually separate.  I found the in-button
version of the dupli panel much easier to read then the out-button
one, for example, since I found having to match up the labels to the
buttons, while very obvious, wasn't as fast as when the labels were
inside the buttons themselves.

It's only if they don't fit together well that you get issues.
Personally, I'd rather labels were inside the buttons where possible.
Logically, there's only one button, and when the label is outside it
forms a visual split, as if there's two things going on.  Or that's my
impression anyway.
