I tested the hardy alpha6 live cd but the issue isn't resolved.
The bug can be reproduced by unplugging the AC and replugging it
again, then after
one minute acpi+g-p-m thinks the battery is unplugged again.

Here's the what acpi reported:
(laptop on AC system up and running, g-p-m gives the unplugged warning)
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ acpi -V
     Battery 1: discharging, 98%, 02:06:43 remaining
     Thermal 1: ok, 53.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: off-line

(laptop after unplugging AC)
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ acpi -V
     Battery 1: discharging, 98%, 04:25:27 remaining
     Thermal 1: ok, 53.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: off-line

( and replugging it again)
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ acpi -V
     Battery 1: charging, 98%, 00:33:00 until charged
     Thermal 1: ok, 53.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: on-line

Then after one +- one minute g-p-m gave an popup telling the laptop
was disconnected.(Which wasn't the case)
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ acpi -V
     Battery 1: discharging, 98%, 18:23:56 remaining
     Thermal 1: ok, 53.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: on-line

The remaining outputs shows that the battery is charging as the remaining times
increases.

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ acpi -V
     Battery 1: discharging, 98%, 25:42:22 remaining
     Thermal 1: ok, 53.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: on-line

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ acpi -V
     Battery 1: discharging, 98%, 27:48:38 remaining
     Thermal 1: ok, 53.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: on-line

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ acpi -V
     Battery 1: discharging, 98%, 31:56:44 remaining
     Thermal 1: ok, 53.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: on-line

I can't find anything useful in the logs but if you need more info I'm
happy to provide it.
