I am having exactly this issue: gnome-power-manager does not update power-consumption (shows approx. 6W constantly, was 18W on Feisty), remaining battery time constantly 3h (should be 1:30h - old battery).
Plugging / unplugging power is detected.

$ dpkg -s hal|grep Version
Version: 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8.1

Was the bug reintroduced in subsequent updates? I am not aware of having noticed this issue some weeks ago.
