the film advance from standoff the meter will stay on. While the ME Super may turn
itself off, (I haven't handled one in a long time, it works the same as the LX if I
remember correctly), you can drain the batteries by putting pressure on the shutter
release so it should be locked as well. (I've done just that to both a LX without winder
and a MX with winder, put it in a camera bag and put pressure on the winder button batteries
drained in about a day).
I've got to admit I've never seen a ME-F so I have no Idea how it's meter works.

When you say "off" are you turning the shutter mode knob to "lock"? The meter automatically turns itself off after some number of seconds.
