I'm suspicious that the real problem is actually in the ACPI layer. From both the posted logs:

Feb 21 01:14:59 laptop-danny kernel: [ 52.010106] ACPI Error (dsfield-0140): [CB04] Namespace lookup failure, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS

and:

If someone can provide me with the DSDT / acpidump for one of the affected laptops, I'll have a look; but this probably needs to be sent upstream to the Linux ACPI maintainers for them to fix (i.e. this is a bug lower down in the ACPI layer, not a bug in acer-wmi).
