From the description I'd say it's a problem on HAL's end, and possibly even 
some BIOS playing funny. Just to be sure could you make the same test using 
lshal as well? in the "noshow" case 
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_BAT1 shouldn't 
appear there either. If that's what happens then it's completely out of 
libsolid's hand and should be reported to HAL (although I'd also suspect some 
ACPI brokeness, which means problem in the linux kernel or your bios).

Hope that helps.

Regards.
