Public bug reported: indicator-power shows battery as if critical. Also, if the battery is removed the icon is not updated.
Disconnecting the AC adapter cable seems to force the update of the battery status. I'm going to take a guess and say something like "It seems it isn't polling the battery but rather only responding to events". PS: daily live CD ISO booted from GRUB2.
