When I load any page (with Vector skin), the search icon next to the search box on the top right briefly shows with a gray background, and only after a short moment changes to white/transparent.
Given this is highly visible, I assume it must be a 1.35.0-wmf.1 regression, otherwise it would have been noticed before. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35/wmf.1#Vector lists several changes to styles that shouldn't have changed anything visibly, but might accidentally have.

Confirming. background-color: transparent for #searchButton gets loaded quite late...
As far as I can see, the gray is the default background color for buttons, so depending on browser and OS the issue might not be visible. But for me this happens both with Firefox, Chromium, and Konqueror on Linux.
There are actually two buttons in the search form: the normal button you always thought was there, and a fallback button that leads to the full-text search, which is only active in no-JS mode (and it gets removed by JS code). The second button doesn't have background-color: transparent set.
