The above patch failed to work for me, but after some digging on the BTS, I found a patch that handles X11 errors properly, and presto, battery meter came back. Will upload a test patch to a PPA, and once I have confirmation from someone else, I'll do an upload to oneiric- proposed and start the SRU process to get this fixed for everyone.
