Yes, telling the battery to not charge even though it's plugged in is
what's confusing indicator-power -- upower is reporting that the battery
is charging, but understandably isn't providing a time-remaining
estimate. In these situations, the indicator shows 'estimating' because
it doesn't have enough information from upower to guess at a time.

One possibility is that we could push this upstream to upower, saying
that the `charging' state is inaccurate here because the battery isn't
charging.

At the indicator-power level, we could also look at the wattage being
consumed. Your upower dump does list the `charging' state, but that only
0.0033 W are being used. I'm a little uncomfortable with adding
heuristics to second-guess what  upower is reporting, but it's a
thought.
