This phone combine the Power button and fingerprint reader.  The problem

I cut mine short, so pressing the edge of the nail means my finger tip
also presses against the Power/fingerprint button.  Maybe an upside-down
finger to press just the fingernail against the Power button might work,

No, it is a standard button that moves. Does nothing until clicked.

 Not on mine.  The combo Power button & fingerprint scanner also work
just by tapping the button.  Depressing it is not necessary to unlock
the phone since that is a fingerprint action.

Sure, if the sensor reads the correct finger print, it doesn't need depressing, the screen lights up, open. But if I press with my nail, it powers up, locked, and I can draw the decoding shape with a finger to open it up.

 When locked, tapping the
button unlocks the phone.  I can short press the button to immediately
lock (or alternatively double-tap the screen in a blank area).  A
long-press is supposed to show the Power Off, Restart, and Turn On
Airplane Mode options; however, after short-pressing to lock,
withdrawing my finger gets interpreted as the tap-to-unlock action.

Yours is badly designed, trying to imitate models where it works properly :-P

 With my short fingernails, tapping or pushing with them on the button is
interpreted the same as using my finger tip.

You can use the reverse side of your finger, pressing effectively with the flat nail. Or use the not pointed side of a pencil.
