Yes! As a matter of fact, even I tried replacing the internal SD card, and sadly the problem persisted. It would actually be quite interesting to know the root cause of the problem. I'm guessing that this problem occurs on all devices (Kobo Glo's atleast), but simply went unnoticed so far because nobody tried to keep it idle for that long.
You might be right that all devices are prone to that problem in some way, and not everybody is perceiving it because depending on certain conditions some devices can cope with more idleness than others.

I think with the next version I will introduce the option to run a sleep loop script from .kobo/kbmenu/onstart/ksmhome.sh.
