oops, missed those.

I thought you meant it did that consistently - if so, then the
variables are not supported. But those are just every once in a while.

yup, sounds like the UPS was just busy at the time.

Note that most commands complete with "send_try 1" and "recv_try 1" -
it just says that the driver didn't have to repeatedly write and read
to get a response. Each "try" waits for a certain amount of time -
that's the timeout. That's all I meant. We're trying to get quick
results in the normal case, but recognize that sometimes, you just
won't get an answer back at all (until you re-send the command).

Nope, no other way. But it's just an end-to-end sanity check to be
sure that the numbers you see are in line with reality. If I had the
time, I could work it out from the log, but that's error-prone (as you
can see by the fact that I missed those two errors).
