It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Except I didn't know about it... Actually the SMAPI interface doesn't
inhibit charging permanently, it just does so for some (possibly very
long) time.

Fixed in tp_smapi 0.06, along with the 2.6.12 compilation problems
using (a variant of) Guenther's patch.

171579

0.06  2005-12-06
----------------
- /sys/devices/platform/smapi/inhibit_charge renamed to
  /sys/devices/platform/smapi/inhibit_charge_minutes and now accepts
  the number of minutes to inhibit charging.
- Compatibility with kernel 2.6.12
