This is related to bug #1215520, which discusses the specific case of the charging icon being >20% misleading in the power indicator. For example, Sam's in comment #1 seems to be getting bitten by that bug.
However, the fix for bug #1215520 is to revert back to the battery-{000,020,040,060,080,100} icons that Lars mentioned. This bug seems to be requesting a finer granularity than that, so I'm leaving this as a separate ticket apart from 1215520.
