Unfortunatley I can't reproduce the problem consistently. Here is why I assume it's solved in my case:

The battery indicator never worked the way I expeced it to work. For example setting it to ony display the icon when charging or discharging didn't work. The icon could be there when it was not charging or discharging and the icon could be not there when charging.

I've had the icon working for months correctly as well, but not since hardy. When using hardy the icon always stopped working within three times booting. Where I boot and shutdown my system practically every day. Resetting the SMC made the indicator work again.

When updating to intrepid beta I hoped the problem was solved. I've reset the SMC but booting for the second time made the icon stop working. The kernel then was 2.6.27-6.

Last week I noticed the icon stayed. Setting the icon to ony display when charging or discharging worked. And remained while I've booted at least 15 times.

Unfortunately this still could be a happy coincidence. I'll let you know if the icon fails again after all.
