With the aforementioned kernel boot options (command line is root=UUID=e9c019e5-d78a-4cc0-8c4a-129eadbe0e3b ro quiet splash irqpoll pci=routeirq) I get the correct icon in Battery Charge Monitor, g-p-m applet displays and gives me a notification when I remove AC power, and I get the following output while on AC:
