A newer version 0.23.23 of fwts is available which fixes this bug and has a load of minor fixes the Oneiric release.

It can be found in my PPA:

Can this be uploaded this to Oneiric universe?  I anticipate this is the last major bugfix upload for fwts for this cycle.

This has been soaked tested against hundreds of firmware and kernel log snapshots to check for any regressions.

This new version includes the following major bug fixes since V0.23.13:

    cmos: cmosdump: fix register 0x0b dump (LP: #837969)
    cpu: msr: drop TSC_AUX and SMBASE tests (LP: #834591)
    acpi: acpitables: remove false positive warnings (LP: #833644)
    acpi: method: don't run mobile platform tests on servers (LP: #834554)
    bios: mpcheck: check uniqueness of CPU APIC IDs (LP: #834504)
    hpet: hpet_check: get HPET base on newer kernel logs (LP: #832273)
    apci: fan: use newer thermal interface, test fans on loaded CPU (LP: #831905)
    lib: acpica: ensure table pointers are NULL when table input is corrupt (LP: #826774)
    acpi: lid: fix failure format string (LP: #826676)
    dmi: dmi_decode: fix failure format string (LP: #826418)
    bios: os2gap: fix failure format string (LP: #825945)
    lib: fwts_acpi_tables: read in data correctly (LP: #818042)
