Hello David
Yes it seems like devkit-power reporting bad data is what's at fault. I didn't check the AC when unplugged because when I managed to rebuild the machine with the parts that eventually arrived I built it with 9.04 because 9.10 was unusable. I ran the above with live 9.10 so with no updates etc and just booted into 9.10 to run apport-collect and went back to my 9.04 install.
Also it might be worth while mentioning that I ran a live version of one of the 10.04 alpha releases and let the battery drain and I didn't see any errors but that was just a quick check and not a full test run of 10.04. I figured it could be down to the fact that HAL is in the process of being replaced with devkit-power but the process hasn't fully completed and it could just be an odd ball issue with my hardware and the implementation of hal / devkit-power.
I think I had the same problem on my other laptop too, A lenovo 3000 N100. sadly while I was investigating this the battery died it's death and now refuses to charge at all but I've given up with that one as I don't tend to use it much except for distro hopping and such.
If you want me to run apport-collect in any of the various states (both power and install such as with updates or without) let me know. It might take a bit if messing about installing to an external USB drive to get it going without ditching my working setup but I'll have time to play around with it more now.
Kind Regards
Ben
