I can confirm the same problem on my fully updated Lucid Lynx laptop (updated just a few minutes ago, and a reboot done after running update-manager). The indicator for the battery appears and disappears all by itself, no interaction required. I can get a menu for the battery icon when it appears, but when it disappears, clicking on the area where it was does nothing. Everytime the battery icon appears and disappears, it adds a little bit more space to the right that aventually causes everything to the left of the original location on the bar (i.e. everything to the left of the bar) to disappear as well. You have to reboot to fix the problem, but then it starts the process all over again.
