There are two issues with the gerber files for the button inputs board:

The dimensions of the header footprints are wholly wrong and incompatible with the parent board without significant jerry-rigging or specialty headers, and;
The "cross members" that make up the top and bottom edges of the window for the display are a little thin, leading to some flexibility where it is not desired.

This is only a problem if you do not intend to use perfboard, but should be corrected as part of the architecture rewrite project.

This is targeted to be finished by the end of the week. Obviously, I'll close the issue when this is resolved and the board gerbers are safe to compile and produce.

^ Relevant to the standard for the launchpad, which is the compatibility mode we require.

Should be as easy as changing the existing header footprints, but we'll probably have to update routing as well.

Signed commit indicated above resolves this issue. Re-export your gerber files as needed for your manufacturing process.
