Comment (by hnla):

 Thought it best or even necessary to default to the anchor in order to not
 disrupt existing sites as 'a' to 'button' is a huge change and easily a
 breaking one. Think we have to make the change on new templates by passing
 the param 'element_type' => 'button' or we have to have some means of
 changing the new default for legacy using templates?.

 Trying to fathom the best approach as Nouveau is using a series of custom
 classes and functions finally running bp_get_button() so trying to see if
 it's not easier to just lift BP_button and transpose to Nouveau although
 even if is tackling at function /class core is preferable or should in
 reality a bit of functionality like this not live in templates period -
