First off, what are you expecting the power button to do? All it does is stop whatever is playing and invokes the "off" screensaver, which by default is the clock. It does not put the hardware into a "sleep" state that uses less power or any such thing.
Just stopping the current playing song will cause the Touch to use less power. There has been a bug on this for quite a while with quite a bit of information. The latest info seems to be that under some circumstances when running the local server the internal clock does not get set. When the clock screensaver tries to start it notices that the clock is not set and won't bring up the clock display. If your reason for pushing the off button is to get into a low power mode your best bet is to set the off screensaver to "screen off", this will turn off the screen back light and stop anything playing. This will be the lowest power state the Touch can be in. If the reason for pushing the off button is to see the clock, you have to make sure the clock gets set. It gets unset when it reboots (powers up). If you have an internet connection it will try and connect to mysqueezebox.com from which it can set its clock. If you don't normally have an internet connection but can temporarily connect it you can do so and explicitly connect to mysqueezebox.com and the clock will get set. If you have no way to connect the Touch to the internet you will have to manually set the date and time. Unfortunately this is not easy. You have to use SSH to login to the Touch and use the linux date command to set the clock. You only have to do this once as long as the Touch doesn't reboot. Try setting the off screensaver to something other than a clock and see if it will come up when the power button is pressed. If it still does not come up there is something else going on and the developers will really want to know about it.
