If I were to put a button in a form without type="button", and it was
not the submit button, some browsers treat it as a submit button. I
usually add it for that reason.

IE 6 does not seem to have any issues with it.

FireFox 0.8.0
NetScape 7.2
Mozilla 1.7.12
Opera 8.51

All treat it as a submit button.
