I take it you are specifically talking about an in-memory suspend, rather
than hibernation, as the battery status doesn't seem to matter to
hibernating.  In any case, it's easy enough to exit the powermanager and
restart it, at which point it will pick up the correct battery status.  I
haven't checked if simply removing and reinserting the batter would fix it.
