For me "cat /proc/acpi/battery/*/*" (as the user, not root) makes gnome- power-manager figure things out (at least until the next time the ac is plugged in)... Also since the karmic upgrade (when this problem started), my only battery shows up as BAT1 under /proc/acpi/battery. I used to be BAT0... Don't have any other karmic machines here to test on.
