Presumably the lid switch was not actually active and the EC was
misbehaving.

Onk XO-1, the magneto resistive sensor for the lid switch is connected
to the embedded controller, and this advises Open Firmware of the lid
being closed.

To avoid it powering off, type lid-off and press enter.  Yes, you only
have eight seconds to do this.

That way you might have been able to use watch-battery as Richard had
suggested.
