Which switch, the one at the back of the PSU? All the ones (ok a few) I've seen so far were real switches, i.e. off means off. In that case your power meter is, uhm, less than reliable. If it's a switch dangling off some thin cables on the low-voltage side of the supply, then it's equivalent to the push-button switches at the front on the computer case, and the power is never totally off.
