Here is a simple patch for this bug:

           break;
         case ACPI_EVENT_BATTERY_INFO:
           update_battery_info(acpiinfo);
+          update_ac_info(acpiinfo);
           result = TRUE;
           break;
       }

It seems that the event generated changed in recent Linux kernels.

Since an extra call to update_ac_info() is very cheap I think my
proposed patch is not very harmfull for older Linux kernels.
