I believe that IE (I'm not sure about IE 9) uses different fonts even for controls like 'buttons' depending on the language ('lang' specified per element/page), the page encoding (as an indirect indicator of lang) and the UI language of IE. The same is true of Firefox, IIRC. 

In the past, Chrome used to have 
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18085 and Ojan's patch (that relied on it) to emulate Firefox and IE. 

Anyway, I believe adding 'sans-serif' here will certainly help at least as long as the UI language of Chrome matches that of the intended language of a page in current view.
