I suspect you have not understood it.

Your described behaviour is exactly how the boot is supposed to behave
when on_ac_power is unavailable.  It is how the boot was behaving
before support for on_ac_power was added.  The new behaviour where the
fsck is skipped when running on battery is an optional feature only
available when on_ac_power is present.

So this is not a bug in the initscripts.  If you want to make this
optional feature work on all installations, you need to convince the
maintainer of the package with on_ac_power to move it from /usr/ to /.
I personally believe that is a good idea, but have no strong opinion. :)
