Current Lucid on HP Pavilion dv3550eg.

Booting on fully charged battery (without AC plugged in) resulted in the icon ("display always") showing I was running on AC with fully charged battery.

Calling cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state didn't change anything. But plugging it in suddenly updated the icon and was still ok after unplugging again.

It is interesting that the statistics plot that you can call from the icon showed that the battery was discharging. Only the icon itself didn't represent it.

I'm following another bug that there is no alarm at critical battery charge: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/481576 Is this maybe somehow related?
