can't verify UP_APIC to have any influence

That seems to be a configuration issue of your laptop. You can choose
wether the power switch triggers a suspend or powers off.

The beep indicates that your 'top's BIOS signals a suspend.
But you can somewhere force to ignore hardware-generated APM events.
(did not test but dpkg-reconfigure apm might help)
Sounds as if it were something like that. But you can easily test -
put the power button to "suspend mode", if Linux ignores it then
you'reprobably ignoring hardware-generated APM suspend events.
