You use /u/ in "button"?  I hear that glo??al stop quite often, but I
say [bVtn=] or perhaps [bVt?n=], but I think that that apparent glo??al
stop is just the velum lowering.  I also sometimes hear [dI?In] or
perhaps [dI?n=] or [dI?@n] (hard to tell exactly what the second
syllable is) for "didn't".
