Public bug reported:

As per the Buttons spec

"In the unlikely event that a button’s label is too long for the width
available, it should be ellipsized in the middle"

Currently the Label in ButtonForeground ellipsizes in the end.

Also quoting Matthew on the reasoning:

(1 Two buttons with long but similar labels are more likely to differ at their 
ends than their middles (e.g. “Change This Event Only” vs. “Change This And 
Future Events”).
(2 End ellipsis is already used to mean “you’ll need to do something else after 
tapping this”.
