What happens here is that the bios lies and tells us to write a value to

Do people have success powering off such machines with other
open source operating systems? If so, we could check to see
if they have a magical quirk that fixes this.
I'll try powering off my x60s with Linux later, I think I still
have a USB key somewhere that boots into Linux.
Anyone else?
Maybe it is an idea to complain to the vendor.
For policital reasons, yes.
Except if it turns out eventually that we do have a bug on our side.
Then we look stupid...
