Hi,
my Toshiba L645-S4060 also has this.
bios version 1.70

Using ubuntu 11.04

battery shows as not present, and ac-adapter plugged/unplugged never changes
in /proc/acpi/

My DSDT looks similar to Otto's

I changed my DSDT and compiled it into a custom kernel.

Originally ther was this line under the EC0 device:
OperationRegion (EMEM, SystemMemory, 0xFF808001, 0xFF)


I changed it to this:
OperationRegion (EMEM, EmbeddedControl, 0x00, 0xFF)

now battery status and ac adapter status seem to work perfectly.

No dsdt file present in /proc/acpi

cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/*
present:                 no
present:                 no
present:                 no

There is no BAT0.
