I think it's good to leave the cursor behavior as it is by browsers default,
when using the visual style for button that is also browsers default ( if we
are talking about input type="button" or "submit"), but if designer created
his own style and it is not so clear that it is a "system button" then it
would be good to change it's cursor properti to "pointer"...

You can't deny their similarity though. Seriously - are there any
elements more similar to either?

A visual distinction is often needed between buttons and anchors
(although based on context you could argue against), but as long as
they're not identical, I can see why you'd want to emphasise their
shared aspects with common semantic styling; hence the hand icon, which
traditionally denotes objects you can click on.
