My 2bits - using 13.10 on lenovo laptop and never noticed an issue with this until i installed TPL to try to manage battery consumption. After installing TPL/TPL-RDW/SMARTMONTOOLS
Not sure which of these 3 is the culprit, and no real time to do debugging ... but figured it was worth stating this to help debug.

Deleting the contents of /var/cache/powertop solves this issue.

Clearing /var/cache/powertop is just temporarily making powertop run without the BUG message, it is coming back for me after a while. It is still an issue. However even with the BUG message spewing out powertop will eventually display normal, on Exit it will display similar messages as well.
