I can verify that this is, indeed, the problem. I ran into this glitch a year ago while working for another company. The fix we used was to rename the button to something else, add a hidden field with the expected name and use an onClick event to set the hidden field to it's proper value. Bug-ugly hack but IE 6 users were then able to perform the functions they were trying to do. Same goes for inputs of type image as well.
