I assume there must have been a few, but my google skills aren't up to the job of finding out. Can any of the experts here tell me who has done the same as we just witnessed from Button?

I think that may be the first time someone has gone all the way from the back to the front.

Hasn't Michael Shoemaker done this before? but over a whole race where he started the race at the back of the grid? - Jenson has done this from a lot less than the whole race!

I'm about 75% sure Schumacher has done it before but from the back during the whole race. But Button with 2 punctures - 6 pit stops (including?) a drive through penalty - to win Wow what a great drive IMHO the best drive I've ever seen!

And as much as I hate to say it a great drive from Schumacher - punched well above his weight!

Schumacher at Malaysia in 2001 possibly? I'm not sure if he ended up dead last though.
