I had a similar issue when tried to add the button during the initialization of an UIView with a frame of CGRectZero:

@implementation SomeView
...
- (id)initWithTitleImage:(UIImage *) newTitleImage {
  // BROKEN: frame with CGRectZero.
  self = [super initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
  if (self) {
    UIButton *someButton = ...;
    [self addSubview someButton];
  }
}

Once I changed the frame to a proper rectangle, the button worked:

@implementation SomeView
...
- (id)initWithTitleImage:(UIImage *) newTitleImage {
  // WORKING: frame with proper CGRect.
  self = [super initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320)];
  if (self) {
    UIButton *someButton = ...;
    [self addSubview someButton];
  }
}
