I have not been able to get your script to work [yet] for me but I confirm I can see anomalous readings after both plugging in and removing the power adapter on the output from upower -dump on the MSI Wind.

If this is a common BIOS problem why have we not seen it before. I have been using two Winds under Hardy and Jaunty almost since they came out without any sign of a problem. What has changed in the latest gnome-power-manager? Did it use the charge level in the past? - if so that is a valid solution as it has been proved over many years. Allowing a settling period for what must start off as an analog measurement is also sensible. It must not be too long as we do not want to fail to shut down in time although unplugging with a critical battery is unlikely apart from a fumble.
