Chris, I guess there was slight misunderstanding. Manuel was intending that the 'dialog box' which says 'battery cricital, plug in charging' doesn't go away when one plugs in the charger. I think the 'dialog box' should go away as soon as battery is plugged in. You are right that the battery 'indicator' mustn't disapper, but that 'dialog box' should as soon as you plug the charger.
I am noticing the same issues even now, in Ubuntu 13.04. It would be great if this UI inconvenience is fixed.
