I wouldn't expect it to be.

This confirms that the ACPI button driver detected a power button.

I also don't see any events when I press the power button on my
Thinkpad T420.  (I hadn't noticed this until now, since I don't
normally use it.)  So this may be a general regression in the ACPI
button driver (or in some other part of the ACPI subsystem supporting
it).
