Agreed - I was asking whether you regard this as a real upstream bug, or
a broken ACPI implementation not worth fixing.

The power button does generate events, so it's not completely broken.
I guess this can just be passed off as a small BIOS bug? If you'd like
us to open a bug for it anyway, just say.
Thanks!
