This is begging the question. The answer depends on the implementation of the maximizer. Of course, if you have a "strong Occamian" prior, you imagine a paperclip maximizer based on that!
And a paperclipper with an anti-Occamian prior that does push the button is revealing a different answer to the supposedly meaningless question.
Either way, it is a assigning utility to stuff it cannot observe, and this shows that questions about the implied invisible, about the differences in theories with no observable differences, can be important.
