I have the same thing, but I try to help with acpi testing.

Running -CURRENT with apmd -f /dev/acpi (and some other flags) I get
at least information about the A/C adapter and sometimes a percentage
of the battery state. It is not working ok yet (percentage is wrong),
but it is more then one month ago. Things are improving and if you
like to see more improvements: help with testing at least.
