Looks like the same issue as reported in bug #629258, but it's not a duplicate, as the hardware is different. I'll mention this bug there, please report the battery indicator always showing up in a separate bug and change this bug's description accordingly.

Is there anything I can do to help moving this forward? There has been a couple of gnome-power manager updates in the last weeks, but the problem remains.
