Bug is still alive and kicking. My HP g60 125nr does this and it drives me nuts. If we can get a discharge rate (Wh/time) isn't it just simple arithmetic to get at least a half-decent fallback routine should the current implementation fail/time out? I've had the stock battery replaced via BestBuy, and unsurprisingly it's a cheap Taiwanese knock- off. I can check if the stock battery (as in genuine HP) can give an estimate of remaining charge (it could be HP's hardware level vendor locking, similar to ink cartridges), but I still see no reason for not having a history based estimation as a failsafe.
