By adding aspace in the selector basically make it not an attribute selector and rather an invalid selector. After testing I find that button[value] is OK for IE7 (no crash) but the style is applied to neither button. Both button[value=""] or button[value="any value"] will cause IE7 to crash. Also other elements with a "value" attribute will have not cause IE7 to crash, ie. <input> is OK. The button element can be styled by the "name" and "type" attributes and IE7 is OK. So this is a clear problem associated with the button element and the attribute "value". A test case for Gerald Talbot's bug page.
