It appears that the battery is not recharging when the A/C is plugged

Flashing red indicates an error. If you get flashing red then the
battery subsystem is halted.
Stop at OFW run 'watch-battery' and then press a key to exit.
watch-battery will tell you what the error is.
Making an educated guess I'd say your error source is EEPROM corruption
caused by ESD. The new code backported from 1.5 detects this condition.
If its caught early then the code can prevent it from getting
committed into the EEPROM but it can't fix it if its already committed.
Since charging works on XO-1 your EEPROM(s) are not corrupted so bad
that it fatal. However, if you are getting corruption then its a not a
matter of 'if' but 'when' until you hit the bits that will break your
battery.
You can dump the battery EEPROM with 'bat-dump-banks' and take a look.
You should not see a long series of 0xff or 0x00 in the data.
