Yes, sorry for the confusion. T42 shares the same BIOS as T41 but generates an ACPI event for the passive point. This is interesting. In this case it may be worth to compare the EC firmware (which you should be able to download from the ibm site and flash separately) between those machines. If you have a look at the dmidecode info you provided, this string states the EC firmware version. Maybe they really fixed it up in the EC firmware (does the T42 also shutdown?):
