I understand the issue now, thanks for the project file and actually it's not a bug.
What you're trying to do is to write text outside of the image that defines the shape of the button. This is not possible in EBMM because normally the text that is written partially out of the button bounds looks sloppy. Your situation is somewhat different, since you're trying to write all text out of the button shape, but even so, that probably won't look good on a page background. The buttons have to look like buttons so that visitors of your page clearly see that they are clickable, so I recommend using some kind of image that envelops the text and seems button-like.
Anyway, there are some options to get the desired effect, if you want the icon-text style:
1) If page background is single color, instead of transparent images use the color for image background;
2) Use almost-transparent background (some color with really low opacity setting);
3) Create PNG for each button and draw text on it with Photoshop.
