I will tell you how I solved your problem.
I made a html file that contained the smallest amount of html code that I thought would be enough to reproduce your problem. Here it is:
<input type=submit value=":: Login >">
Then, i opened irb and tried to reproduce your error.
C:\Documents and Settings\zfilipin\Desktop>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'watir'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> ie = Watir:: IE.attach(:title, //)
=> #<Watir::IE:0x2e54690 [...removed some text...]>
irb(main):003:0> ie.button(:value, ":: Login >").click
Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: Unable to locate object, using value and :: Login >
[...the rest of error message...]
Then, I did some investigation.
irb(main):004:0> ie.button(:index, 1).value
=> ":: Login >"
So, for watir value of that button is ":: Login >" and not ":: Login >" as it is in html file. That is because ">" represents ">" character in html files (to avoid confusion, because all tags end with ">").
Then I tried to flash that button.
irb(main):006:0* ie.button(:value, ":: Login >").flash
=> nil
(It flashed).
Then I tried to click it.
irb(main):007:0> ie.button(:value, ":: Login >").click
=> ""
Success! :)
