Check the page source. There's no reason for it not to show up, but I'm
wondering if it is there but under certain conditions we are generating bad
HTML causing the browser to hide it. If you can find it in the source,
please send that to me off-list so I can inspect.

The alternative, if there's no admin footer even showing up on the page, is
that you've run out of memory before the button can be generated. I'm not
aware of anything too intensive on export.php, but that would explain a page
from silently stopping from fully loading.
