Dear Pedro,

yes the issue is reproducible in oneiric. Like before, I set it to
shutdown when battery is critically low, then unplugged the UPS and
waited for it to drain. Oneiric did not shut down when the UPS went low,
however just one second before the UPS ran out of power oneiric
displayed a message; I did not have time to read it, but I managed to
see the words "critically low". So it seems that the problem persists.

Title:
  power management does not shut down system when ups is low/critical

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  I have set it to shut down when UPS is low and also to shut down when
  UPS is critically low. When on UPS power, the battery discharges.
  There is a notification that UPS is critically low, but it does not
  attempt to shut down. Then UPS battery dies and the system abruptly
  turns off too.

  I suspect that the reason bight be that it monitors time until battery
  empties, instead of monitoring percentage of battery charge. It seems
  that the time to empty is incorrect, while percentage is correct.

  My UPS is a Belkin

  What you expected to happen: When UPS power is low/critically low, the system should take action based on the power preferences (either hibernate or shut down)
  What actually happened: UPS power gets low/critically low and no action is taken.
  The minimal series of steps necessary to make it happen, where step 1 is "start the program". 
  1. Power Management Preferences|On UPS Power|When Power is low/critically low|Shut down
  2. Pull the plug so that system runs on UPS power
  3. Wait until UPS power is low
