I've just spotted this bug report on the kernel-team mailing list thanks to Leann. I've been running a Vaio vGN-FE41Z since April 2007. I started with 32-bit builds but moved to x86_64 and have not tried 32-bit again since.
I've been testing/using Hardy alongside Gutsy all the way through the development process and not experienced this issue. The laptop is usually on mains power when it boots.
Interestingly, I did rewrite the ACPI DSDT to fix an issue with the battery-technology reported as non-rechargeable but that was ages ago and I can't see it being affected by this:

I'll do some systematic tests tomorrow with 64-bit and 32-bit Hardy builds.
