I checked it a few more times with different settings and found out, that it 
actually kind of works:
When I disable the powerbtn.sh, the system still shuts down without asking, but 
it seems to log out from the kde session at least. This holds for the kde 
setting "Shut down on power button pressed".
If I change the kde setting to e.g. "logout", it correctly shows the logout 
screen.

If I now enable the script handicapped, to say with the shutdown command 
replaced by "touch sometestfile", the file sometestfile is produced every time 
I press the power button, of course regardless of the kde setting. This is the 
expected buggy behaviour.
I have, by the way, lucid running on an Compaq nx6325 with an AMD64 processor.

So in conclusion, my situation: The bug is there, it's in the script 
powerbtn.sh, as described by previous. However, kde in some way watches 
separately if the power button pressed and interprets it correctly according to 
the settings.
So why is the script still kept? My workaround is disabling it.
