Interesting theory,

I made several tests and plugging in and out the power at various time
doesn't seems to trigger the problem. I just noticed something else,
the problem doesn't seems too related to suspending. I just plugged out
the power while charging and I notice now the battery status is lost. I
don't really understand ...

Anyway, mere rebooting doesn't work, I really need to bot Mac OS X to
restore the battery state.

Perhaps I should just ask the LKML about it...
