Good news everyone! Indeed, it seems that the problem is kernel crashing!
If you start Kubuntu normally and log in, while starting KDE/whatever you switch to console (Alt+Ctrl+F1) and close the lid you'll see something like:
[<timestamp>] BUG: Could not handle a NULL pointer reference in kernel.
Ok, If someone knows how to trace this somehow, it'd be great! I wonder why wont the kernel panic in that event...
Your proposition of unloading button.ko might not be the problem -- I haven't seen the source but sounds like a pretty simple module. I guess the next step is to get someone interested in this problem .... Someone who knows how to debug or at least get a trace out of this.
