Possibly a duplicate of bug 572896. Here's a scratch build of gnome-power-manager for i686: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2048407 . Please test it and if it helps, close this bug as a duplicate of 572896.
Yes - Great! - it fixes this long standing bug :) And my battery makes sense again ...
