I am still experiencing this problem. After latest hal update, LID close is detected and monitor is made blank as stated. But I still need to reinstall hal to make ubuntu detect battery, power manager applet appears on tray and show correct battery status.
Following the info of my battery (they doesn't change, of course, before and after reinstalling hal).
