Just a quick update on this. I recompiled my kernel with ACPI_DEBUG enabled and I can see that after physically removing and reinserting the battery, the _STA method returns 0x1f and everything works as expected. I guess I'm just stuck with a broken BIOS/AML and I'll make a habit of removing and reinserting the battery of this laptop if I really need battery charge status.
