Can't exactly explain the etiology, only the timing. Since the install of the partition, I get severe drop off in battery after initially starting play, even if battery is fully charged. Meter eventually recovers, but if it drops <200 or lower, the iPod cuts out altogether and insists on a charge.
I'm not a programmer -- I don't know if there's a causal link, but I removed the OS to see whether the symptom continues (and is therefore independent of the multi-boot setup.)
I will report back.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Once the Linux partition is removed, the initial battery drop off on power on is not as severe. I can't be certain there is a nexus, but I'll wait to see whether anyone else notices this before reinstalling.

That's interesting. I personally can't imagine that there is a casual link, but i think you should post this to the www.ipodlinux.org forums.
