As a guess:

	
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.Callback.html#o
nKeyLongPress(int, android.view.KeyEvent)

implies that you need to _also_ override Activity.OnKeyDown()[0] _and_ call
KeyEvent.StartTracking()[1].

The Activity.OnKeyDown() docs [1] suggest that Activity.OnKeyDown() is
responsible for the Back button behavior in the first place, which does
suggest that you _can_ catch it, if you override Activity.OnKeyDown().
