We are witnessing the same issue. It appears to be a problem with div size 
controller within the Earth javascript. The button also disappears whenever the 
regular map is resized.

It may be related to issue 100:

I've proposed a little change that fixes that issue for me.

Hi. I tested the example page and it behaves correctly (towards this bug) in 
Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 9, while the issue appears in Mozilla 
Firefox 3.6.

Here is a map showing that this bug is alive and well even after applying the 
fix in issue 100:
http://www.mappingsupport.com/test_googleearth/test_ge_016.html

I'm using a PC with XP SP3.

Earth does start so it is not a problem with the instance being tardy.  After 
earth starts the map type control is not present.  This bug exists with:
FF 23
Chrome 29
IE 8

This test map does one thing different.  The map uses a custom map type control 
that is inside of a google custom control.  When you click the button to go to 
earth, (1) the custom control is cleared and (2) a standard default map type 
control is added to the map so there will be the right kind of sibling to find.

This bug is affecting my production app so I hope Josh or someone can give me a 
suggestion to try.
