Addendum to previous comment: After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04, I also noticed I would get occasional reports that an internal error occured realated to Nautilus. It never really affected anything (apparently, apport is known to be a bit overzealous at times). I don't think it should be linked to the battery status problem but maybe it will give some hint. I pulled up the latest apport error log that was submitted:
