on my hardware, pressing the wifi button apparently DOES disable the wireless connection, but does not generate a keypress event. (In order to get network manager to work again, I had to toggle the "Enable Wireless" option in Network Manager's panel applet menu.)

By contrast, the adjacent bluetooth button (which I believe is not connected to a functional module) puts the following two lines into dmesg:
