I have access to an HP nx6325 and I do not see this issue.

I'm running Fedora Core 8, and have tested with both the
2.6.23.9-85.fc8 kernel, as well as the kernel.org 2.6.23.12 kernel.
dmidecode describes the BIOS as Version: 68TT2 Ver. F.02
with Release Date: 07/06/2006

In both cases the output from 

cat /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/C1BD/state  /proc/acpi/battery/C1BF/state

makes sense and it notices changes in AC/DC status,
and the battery status icon in the gnome GUI does as well.

If you can reproduce this issue with a kernel.org kernel,
please re-open this report and attach the .config.
