  boot occasionally hangs while "Checking battery state..."

Bug description:
  This is a bit of an odd environment, but I've recently noticed that
  boot will occasionally hang just after "Checking battery state...".  I
  don't know for sure it's /etc/acpi/power.sh that's hanging, but that
  seems like the most likely culprit.

  This is an up-to-date 12.10 guest running in VMware Fusion 5.0.1
  (825449) on OS X 10.6.8.  I've disabled the splash screen so I can
  watch the boot process.  ctrl-C (and other keystrokes) seems to be
  echoed back to the console, but has no effect.

  When I send ctrl-alt-delete (via the VMware "Virtual Machine" menu
  item), I see "acpid exiting" and the machine shuts down and reboots.
  It usually successfully reboots after this, but not always.

  I suppose not surprisingly, this seems related to power status pass-through.   If you go to VMware's settings->Other->Advanced and turn off "Pass power status to VM" then it seems like boot never hangs.  Note though that I have had this setting enabled for ages, and enabling doesn't guarantee that the boot will hang.  But it never seems to hang with the setting disabled.
