I confirm this behavior with version 11.0.0 on Windows 7 x64. With a slight modification of the original code I was able to reproduce this behavior also with version 8.0.4:

plot = Show[LogPlot[x^10, {x, 1, 10}], 
  Ticks -> {Automatic, Charting`ScaledTicks[{Log, Exp}]}]

Button["Print", Print[plot]]

(the key is that Ticks are specified as a function in the final Graphics).

By the essence FrontEnd simply "forgets" that Dynamic (functional) Ticks must be updated when displaying Graphics on-screen for the first time.

I think that this bug is strongly related. The only difference is that in that case FrontEnd "forgets" that functional Ticks must be updated when displaying Graphics for the first time after reopening saved Notebook.

The workarounds from the linked thread work:

Button["Print", Print[Dynamic@plot];]

Button["Print", 
 Print@Graphics[{Inset[plot, Center, Center, Scaled[1]]}, 
   Options[plot, {AspectRatio, ImageSize}]]]

For the case of Button there are additional workarounds and the shortest is to use Paste instead of Print:

Button["Print", Paste[plot]]

CellPrint works too:

Button["Print", CellPrint[ExpressionCell[plot, "Output"]]]

The workaround suggested by rcollyer also works:

Button["Print", Print[plot], Method -> "Queued"]

but I see no reason why the original code shouldn't work with the default Method -> "Preemptive".
