Try something a little simpler. Either use EvtResetAutoOffTimer to reset the sleep timer during a critical process and prevent the unit from sleeping. Or catch the power off message, do what you need to do to prepare for power off, then repost the message. If you defer the message, just make sure you don't interrupt the power critical message. If you intercept this message, you run the risk of completely depleting the remaining power and causing the unit to hard-reset.
