Sure. See the attached photo for the charging battery and two dumps: when charging (and showing the wrong time left) and discharging (and showing the correct time left).

The time left on battery power is correctly computed. When I remove the power, it takes a little bit until it switches from the wrong duration to charge to the real time left on battery power, sometimes going to sleep as a result of thinking it has little power left. See the screenshot for the displayed value.
