How do you know it was the power button press and not, for example, a dodgy battery?
The simplest solution is a hardware mod: glue a small ring (for example, a washer) to the case around the power button. You will still be able to press it with a tool but not by accident.

Checked in another pocket and there was no such accident.
Back to the question: how to disable this functionality with some software edit?

...all of which brings us back neatly to the weak battery contacts.

I seriously doubt that this should not be configurable somehow.
Linux is in basics just configs in file system . Even hardware.
Just, no one have been told where it's hidden.

when walking or placing the N900 in a pocket of trousers or a jacket somehow it goes down, probably by unknowingly pressing the power button. It happens sometimes, there's no pattern nor probable bug causing this. I can't find any log of power on/off.
Potential solution:
disable the long-press on power button through file in (not sure about this) /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/
Advantages:
N900 won't turn off anymore by incidental long-press.
Disadvantages:
When stuck or in need to do a hard restart you will have to remove battery.
Does anyone have an idea how to debug or just disable the button?
