You can do the following inside the loop:

  local myi = i

This statement creates a new local variable every time it is executed. 
That way, every button gets its own myi that keeps the value that i had 
at the time of the assignment.

There's an example of this in internal node -12, the table inspector, 
for the crosshair buttons (search for comment "--need a copy").
