I looked at that and ran the acpi command also. energy_now, voltage_now and
power_now only had small fluctuations, but current_now and power_now
varied by up to 2 orders of magnitude! (I'll just show current_now;
power_now values seem to be the same.)

On power:

current_now: 48019000

Battery 0: Charging, 27%, 00:24:37 until charged

Immediatly after power is unplugged, in the few seconds before g-p-m
forced a suspend:

current_now: 969327000

Battery 0: Discharging, 27%, 00:00:29 remaining

After a suspend/resume cycle, while still on battery:

current_now: 4096000

Battery 0: Discharging, 27%, 00:54:35 remaining

Interesting that gnome-power-manager did not panic seeing this
before, when it used hal. Does hal have a quirk mode that
avoids the problem?
