Since 2.3.2, gkrellm uses sysfs information (if available) instead of acpi. Now, could you please look into /sys/class/power_supply/ and see what's the information in there? Additionally, you can also run gkrellm with debug info for battery: open a terminal and exec: gkrellm -d 0x8000 and it should print some debug info for the battery part. Another test, since there are a couple of new kernel version available for unstable, 2.6.30-2-686 and 2.6.31, you can also try to upgrade to them and see if the behavior is still there.
