However, all is not lost: it's not necessary to change the control

to read "Auto Expire is ON" and "Auto Expire is OFF", or something
similar. This would actually reverse the current sense of the button
from the user's point of view (it's currently an "action" button, this
would make it a "status" button), but it would be absolutely clear that
the button text reflected the current status.
Or better might be "Set to auto-expire" or "Cancel auto-expire".
This wouldn't cause problems with people who are used to using the
buttons as they are now.
I see you both understand my point. Yes, it needs to indicate clearly
what is meant, because, as it is now, Auto-expire does not actually do
any auto-expiring, unlike play or delete buttons which do what they
say. All it does is set a flag that let's it auto-expire later.
I like this last suggestion above, and it is so easy to fix.
