Well, in Germany one site (www.heise.de) made some nifty code to circumvent the specific problems of the like-buttons; it is open source and here available. It uses a two-click-solution; first you click on a button similar to the FB-ike-button; then you are forwarded to a second page with the real button.
Facebook tried to argue that doing this violates its ToS (not doing this would violate law in many countries).

Using a distinct button for first click seems to be OK.
Ah, that's pretty neat.
Although, I guess that'd be a trivial inconvenience, and so there would be far less point in having the buttons in the first place.
