This occurs on an up to date (13 Oct 2012) 12.10 install. The battery indicator at the top of the screen displays the status of my bluetooth mouse's battery instead of the notebook's battery. Clicking on the battery icon shows that there are two batteries. Clicking on one of them brings the Power Statistics window, where two batteries are also listed, both as Laptop batteries. The one corresponding to the mouse says:
Device: battery_hid_00o08o76o30oE9o6B_battery
Type: Laptop battery
Model: Targus Soft-Touch Bluetooth Mouse

(and some more data)
