No Save and Delete buttons when upgrade from 6.x-1.1 to 6.x-1.2

In the old code (the form object) this works:

   [submit] => Array
        (
            [#type] => submit
            [#value] => Save
            [#weight] => 30
        )

    [delete] => Array
        (
            [#type] => submit
            [#value] => Delete
            [#weight] => 31
            [#submit] => Array
                (
                    [0] => user_edit_delete_submit
                )

        )

In the new code, this doesnt render the buttons:

    [submit] => Array
        (
            [#type] => submit
            [#value] => Save
            [#weight] => 30
            [#access] => 
        )

    [delete] => Array
        (
            [#type] => submit
            [#value] => Delete
            [#weight] => 31
            [#submit] => Array
                (
                    [0] => user_edit_delete_submit
                )

            [#access] => 
        )

So the empty [#access] parameter must be the issue?

As a temporary fix I did this, the buttons displayed, but no changes were saved, guess I am putting the old one back...

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  if(  (arg(0)=='user')  &&  (is_numeric(arg(1)))  &&  (arg(2)=='edit')  ){ 
    if($form_id=='user_profile_form'){
      if($form['submit']){
        if($form['submit']['#access']==''){
          unset($form['submit']['#access']);
        }
      }
      if($form['delete']){
        if($form['delete']['#access']==''){
          unset($form['delete']['#access']);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I found these attributes missing from $form_state, which will be why nothing will save:

            [form_build_id] => form-b4daa43faf743f6d5e78fbdbfc73a41b
            [form_token] => be00fcc189a1b5ac3250faa419622026
            [form_id] => user_profile_form
