Control: retitle -1 With HandlePowerKeyLongPress=shutdown configured, a short press is interpreted as long press

It looks like there actually is a bug and not (just) a PEBKAC issue.
What I (actually) started out with, was the following custom config:
```
[Login]
HandlePowerKey=suspend
HandlePowerKeyLongPress=poweroff
```

And when I then pressed the power key *short*, it powered off the system.
My initial conclusion that logind.conf.d/custom.conf didn't work was incorrect.

If I remove or disable (via prepending it with '#') the LongPress action, then
it sees it as a short key press and does the desired thing: suspend.
If I set the LongPress action to 'ignore', then it also registers a short key
press as a short press and does the desired thing: suspend.
But if I set the LongPress action to 'shutdown', then it registers a short key
press as a *long* press and does the poweroff action.

Attached you'll find the custom config I used (same as quoted above) and
also the output from journalctl where all my physical key presses were short.
