I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NR21S with the above problem.
the "gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy false" seems to be a workaround, but using upower -d tells me the energy rate reading is wrong.
Running on A/C :
    state:               charging
    energy:              50.23 Wh
    energy-empty:        0 Wh
    energy-full:         53.28 Wh
    energy-full-design:  53.28 Wh
    energy-rate:         782.82 W 
    time to full:        14 seconds
    percentage:          94.2755%
    capacity:            100%
    technology:          lithium-ion

I get a warning that there is only four minutes power when I unplug. The info corrects itself when on D/C
    state:               discharging
    energy:              49.98 Wh
    energy-empty:        0 Wh
    energy-full:         53.28 Wh
    energy-full-design:  53.28 Wh
    energy-rate:         24.396 W
    time to empty:       2.0 hours
    percentage:          93.8063%
    capacity:            100%
    technology:          lithium-ion

The error returns if plugged in again.
