Confirmed as a problem with gnome-power-manager 2.29.2 on my system. Fixed by rolling back to version 2.28.3. Downloaded 'gnome-power-manager_2.28.3-3_i386.deb' from here:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-power-manager/

Forced the install by using a terminal (GDebi refused to install an older version):

sudo dpkg -i gnome-power-manager_2.28.3-3_i386.deb

Battery status icons are now correct and the 'blank icons' no longer appear. Most telling, however, is the lack of error messages when launching gnome-power-manager from a command line. The error messages detailed in comment #28 are gone.

I think this needs reporting upstream, as there is no bug contact for gnome-power-manager on Launchpad.
