There is a potential workaround for this issue.

In GConf (using gconf-editor, for example) set the key

/apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac

to the value 'nothing' without single quotes.

Still, there should be a GUI option for this. The functionality is there and seems to work for me, I don't understand why this would be removed.
