Public bug reported:

Since the move to systemd (I think) the setting in unity-control-center
under "Power" that says:

When power is critically low: [Hibernate | Power Off]

doesn't actually do anything any more.

That action is now controlled by Upower config in
/etc/UPower/UPower.conf.  At the end of that file you can see:

# The action to take when "TimeAction" or "PercentageAction" above has been
# reached for the batteries (UPS or laptop batteries) supplying the computer
# 
# Possible values are:
# PowerOff
# Hibernate
# HybridSleep
#
# If HybridSleep isn't available, Hibernate will be used
# If Hibernate isn't available, PowerOff will be used
CriticalPowerAction=HybridSleep


So the default action is HybridSleep and is not configurable by the user in the 
control center anymore.

FWIW - I think the best thing to do is just remove that setting from
u-c-c altogether.
