I was afraid this bug wasn't going to manifest itself again but, at last, it has.
As described above, the battery info and state are unreadable. At this point, I have powered off the computer and removed/reseated the battery and powered it back on. I also have rebooted several times.

As reported previously, If I reboot into OS X, that should put things right, but I haven't done that yet, in case anyone monitoring this bug would like me to post additional diagnostic details.

Below is the /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/{info,state} while the bug is manifesting:
