This works as expected:

img = tk.PhotoImage(file="gfx/button.png")
btn1 = tk.Button(root,image=img,width=wid,height=hgt)
btn1.grid(column=0,row=0,padx=pad_x,pady=pad_y)`  
btn2 = tk.Button(root,image=img,width=wid,height=hgt)
btn2.grid(column=1,row=0,padx=pad_x,pady=pad_y)

This does not - neither button gets an image:

btn1 = tk.Button(root,image=tk.PhotoImage(file="gfx/button.png"),width=wid,height=hgt)
btn1.grid(column=0,row=0,padx=pad_x,pady=pad_y)  
btn2 = tk.Button(root,image=tk.PhotoImage(file="gfx/button_active.png"),width=wid,height=hgt)
btn2.grid(column=1,row=0,padx=pad_x,pady=pad_y)

This works as expected:

img = tk.PhotoImage(file="gfx/button.png") 
btn1 = tk.Button(root,image=img,width=wid,height=hgt) 
btn1.grid(column=0,row=0,padx=pad_x,pady=pad_y)
img2 = tk.PhotoImage(file="gfx/button_active.png")  
btn2 = tk.Button(root,image=img2,width=wid,height=hgt) 
btn2.grid(column=1,row=0,padx=pad_x,pady=pad_y)

This does not - second button gets correct image, first button gets no image:

img = tk.PhotoImage(file="gfx/button.png")
btn1 = tk.Button(root,image=img,width=wid,height=hgt) 
btn1.grid(column=0,row=0,padx=pad_x,pady=pad_y) 
img = tk.PhotoImage(file="gfx/button_active.png") 
btn2 = tk.Button(root,image=img,width=wid,height=hgt) 
btn2.grid(column=1,row=0,padx=pad_x,pady=pad_y)

I am particularly confused by the second example.

Clarification:

Why does this work:

img = tk.PhotoImage(file="gfx/button.png")
btn1 = tk.Button(root,image=img)

but this does not:

btn1 = tk.Button(root,image=tk.PhotoImage(file="gfx/button.png"))
