I think this behaviour is not a bug. There are multiply events that overlap 
here.

First you configure coversleep=no so you could close the lid and the machine 
continues to work. so far so good.

What have you set at onXX_sleep? If nobody work with the machine (no mouse or 
keyboard events, low CPU load, low network load) the machine follow 
onXX_sleep after onXX_Tsleep time out. If you want no sleep at all set 
onXX_Tsleep=0.

For more information see man-page pbbuttonsd.conf.
