I think it's more a problem with an ACPI event handling then.  Do you
have an acpidump somewhere to look at ?

wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org//pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools-20031210.tar.bz2
tar xjvfp pmtools-20031210.tar.bz2
cd pmtools-20031210/acpidmp
make
sudo ./acpidmp > acpidmp.out
bzip2 acpidmp.out 

Then mail me the acpidmp.out.bz2
