It appears to be a bug with the layout code for UIAlertView. After fiddling a bit in the debugger I managed to get this workaround:

UIAlertView* alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title" message:@"Message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"one", @"two", nil];

[alert show];

// for some reason we have alpha 0 for 3 or 4 buttons
[[[alert subviews] objectAtIndex:2] setAlpha:1];
// also, for 3 buttons the height goes to 10 -> proof of concept 'fix'
[[[alert subviews] objectAtIndex:2] setFrame:CGRectMake(12, 45, 260, 24)];

[alert release];

This is just a proof of concept. A real workaroung should iterate ober the subviews and fix only labels that have either height to small or alpha==0
