Maybe this is an indication of broken BIOS.
You should grep for the ACPI diagnosis tools and send your results to the 
acpi-devel list.

I have Button enabled, too. Please try.

My .config file looks like this:

CONFIG_ACPI=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BUSMGR=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_CPU=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_AC is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_EC is not set
# CONFIG_APM is not set

Maybe you should CC to acpi-devel.
