I can confirm this. I fixed this for myself a long time ago by simply adding -X to the pidof command in laptop-mode-tools/modules/battery-level-polling. Yesterday I did an aptitude safe-upgrade and the file was overwritten with the buggy version without the -X switch again.
~/ aptitude show laptop-mode-tools Package: laptop-mode-tools State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 1.47-1ubuntu2 I attached the correct version.
