Well, that would still break this scenario: You're watching a recording while it is being recorded. Then you get interrupted and push the Power button. Before the timed recording finishes and VDR gets a chance to shut down, you get back and push a button to switch to interactive state. You will be surprised to see that the playback doesn't resume from the same position.
Actually I wouldn't. Its the POWER key, not the PAUSE key. If I do that with my old VCR (means, switch off the TV instead of pausing the VCR) the same thing would happen.
But again, that way you cannot get VDR into inactive mode manually while playback.
Is that feature necessary? If you believe so, maybe you could introduce a configuration option for enabling it? The default behaviour would be to obey the Power button immediately. The option could be named something like "Shutdown during playback must be confirmed".
Its mainly because the 'old' code did not shut down while playback, at least since 1.3.25. (No longer stopping Transfer Mode or replay immediately when the Power button is pressed (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg)) Before, I think, the power button stopped playback and did shut down.
I don't want to add yet another config option, either we let the power button work directly while playback, or we ask for confirmation on playback. Whatever the majority wants.
I'd also say that the Power button should shutdown without confirmation unless there is a recording going on or a plugin is Active().
To avoid accidental shutdowns it might still prompt the user with "Shutdown - press any key to stay up" or something like that for a few seconds, but it shouldn't be necessary to confirm anything, even if a replay is currently going on.
