It didn't vanish (it's not possible), it's on the next line (remember there's a newline at the end of string), you'll see it if you edit and press cursor down, like this:
"432543543543534543'
"

It would be nice if a menu display program could specify the decoration of the button somehow - or, alternatively, if the decoration entry could be a program. That way you could, for example, invert a button based on a change in its contents.

I believe that's already covered but I'll have to check the source code before I can give you a final answer (can't recall if that's possible or not).

EDIT: Yes, you can do that, your program needs to return a list just like you would have included if you did it manually. You cannot put another program inside the list, though, it's not fully recursive but anything you can do "by hand" your code can do programmatically.
