In order to work around this issue in Oneiric, you can issue the following command:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power 'use-time-for-policy' 'false'

You can alternatively do the following:

1. sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
2. dconf-editor
3. Navigate to the 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power' section
4. Uncheck 'use-time-for-policy'

I still get a popup when unplugging the power but I just hit Cancel and everything works fine. Before I did this, it would hibernate/turn off/whatever no matter what I did.
