The 50g draws \(29\,\mu\rm A\) when turned off. However, to my great surprise it draws 48 mA when turned on and doing nothing. Is this the expected power consumption? Has the latest firmware caused a problem, or do I have an "odd" machine?

I'm not sure what these figures mean. Are you suggesting that 49g+ draws batteries flat even when turned off? Mine (it is 49g+) has been off for a lot longer than a year with the SD card in and batteries were OK.

And yes, Claudio, I've got one in near mint condition partly because it was not used much at all - I didn't like the whole concept of that calculator.
