Saucy had the same issues as Precise with one exception:
Saucy, like Precise did recognize the battery on boot but would not update status (icon etc wouldn't change when I plugged in AC power) and, when on battery, charge amount/time was not updated. I would, thus, assume that I would still not get any warnings about low battery etc.
The one difference was that in, Saucy, the "Show status in menu bar" setting was retained and not blank - I was able to change to other settings (such as never) and the setting stuck.
Note: I did have to use the nomodeset option to boot.
