I wrote the support list and filed a bug about this. Andy said this is
a more appropriate forum.
Sometimes, when I plug in my phone to the wall charger, it doesn't
charge, and instead slowly discharges the battery. I'm not the only one
to see this, and it seems to be a software bug.
Here are the symptoms, and a summary of the findings so far:
apm reports:
Off-line, battery status low: 49% (1d+3:40:00)
and the GUI icon doesn't show a lightning bolt.
charger_type contains:
charger 1A mode 1A
dump_regs contains:

which confirms the charger is off. The bug is here:

Michael Shiloh suggested I apply this kernel patch, and force the
charger type to 1A. (I haven't been able to do this yet; I'm still
figuring out the build system... Reply to me w/ instructions for
rebuilding the kernel, and I'll update the wiki if necessary.)
