No button text on Lion download

Here is a rough transcription of how I got into this state:

* Purchased Lion with a redeem code from my developer account

* Download started and progressed to approximately 3.2GB

* I closed my Macbook Pro and switched to another WiFi connection later

* I somehow lost all my download data, and the download was stuck in "Waiting..." mode

* I clicked the X, and the OS X Lion download reappeared in the Other Purchases section

* I believe the download started and progressed for a while until i quit the App Store application

* I reopened it, and I'm left with this state

This all occurred when I was running 10.6.7. I updated to 10.6.8 to see if it would fix the problem, but it remains as shown. I do have the Lion download icon in my dock, and it is making progress. I'm not sure how the Lion upgrade occurs, but I'm afraid I'm going to be stuck in this text-less button state even after it completes. Has anyone enountered this before, or know of any fixes?

Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Click Account right side of the App Store window and sign in.

From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads

Lion's requirements:

Make sure both your Macs meet Lion's requirements:

Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available spare

If clicking Check for Unfinished Downloads does not help, install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo

Then restart your Mac. Then check for Unfinished Downloads
