To my mind, one of the most pressing questions that needs to be answered in any particular case is: "How is the fieldset labelled?" If it specifically says something like 'postcode' or maybe 'contact details', and is one of a collection of fieldsets, then the button should probably be outside. If the form is simpler, the fieldset is un-labelled, generically labelled, or the only fieldset, then there is no advantage to moving the submit button outside of the fieldset.
Of course, what would be best would be a quick study of what actual screen-readers speak in these cases - does the closing of a fieldset lead the user to believe that is the end of the form? I see little issue with the semantics of the form, since the button will still be contained within that boundary, even if it goes outside a fieldset. (Validity of XHTML being a slightly separate argument, especially if, like me, you never use it.)
