I think there was a misunderstanding between this thread, you and Kinnison
on irc.  The icon has always been shown while the battery is not 100%
charged, which is what kinnison confirmed.  On the other hand, this thread
is about showing the battery status all the time regardless of AC state or
battery charge level.

In the power management preferences, there are four options:

Notification area:
  * Never display icon
  * Only display when battery lif is critical
  * Only display when charging or discharging (default)
  * Always display icon

In my opinion this thread is about making the default "Always display
icon".
