I can confirm this behavior. I am using Feisty and this bug was introduced with the last update! Today is the 11th of June.

I first was not sure if this is a kernel acpi issue or the fault of gnome-power-manager. From what I saw so far, the truth must be in some layer in between!

ACPI seems to be working and seems to recognize when a battery is plugged in:
elias@doroga:~$ sudo acpi -V
     Thermal 1: ok, 53.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: on-line
elias@doroga:~$ sudo acpi -V
     Battery 1: charging, 100%
     Thermal 1: ok, 55.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: on-line

But both, gnome-power-manger and battstat-applet-2 are not seeing this happening as it seems. They stay with what was detected at startup as described above.

Note again, this was introduced with the latest update! It was working last week!
