Is xfce4-power-manager running? If so, the problem almost surely does not lie
in acpisupport.

acpi-support only handles these events only if no other software that is supposed to handle the same is running. One of the checks done is this:

        PMS="/usr/bin/xfce4-power-manager /usr/bin/mate-power-manager /usr/lib/dalston/dalston-power-applet"
        pidof -x $PMS > /dev/null [...]

I guess this return success on your system meaning the acpi-support script in
question should immediately exit.
