Simple solution. Never put the bottom plate on without having both a battery and SD card inserted. If you're going to store it, I have no idea why any one would do that, and you take out the battery and card, when you go to use it again insert both, card/battery.
I see no reason for this in any firmware. If the bottom plate is off it won't take any picture. If you remove the bottom plate to remove the card to copy images then leave it off until you re-insert the card.
Sounds simple to me.
Now with a Nikon that has a separate door for both battery and card I can see having that in the firmware. I have closed the door to the card area without even thinking about it after taking the card out to copy images off it.
But with the M8 removing and replacing the bottom kind of stops you from doing that.
