yes, the issue is related to the way Android of different versions handles the hard keys differently (apparently from 2.0 onwards it matters if it's a soft or a hard key). Here is the story from the android developer blog: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/12/back-and-other-hard-ke...
As a developer it is very frustrating to have new versions break old code, but that's essentially what happened with every new version of Android, and I haven't had time yet to even try to understand all the different ways in which I'm now supposed to check for something as simple as a long-press on the back key.
When the app is terminated with the long press, it exits, within the limits of Android, meaning, it may exit, or it may not ;)
Sorry, Michael
