I've seen this bug before in the SuSE user-space.
Somebody got the idea that T-states save energy,
so they enable them when on battery.
I thought that they fixed it, but apparently they only disabled
this nonsense on MP systems, and UP systems remain broken.
There should be a check box someplace in the powersaved GUI
to disable this. The mystery is why you didn't see it also in 2.6.17.
Also, if the system is idle and running a sane governor
like ondemand, you should be in the lowest
P-state both before and after the transition from AC->DC.

This again sounds like broken user-space policy software.
See if this still happens when in single-user mode
and none of that junk is running. But again, the mystery
is why you don't see the same issue with the same user-space
and the 2.6.17 kernel.
