Comment:

 I found some relevant documentation at:
 [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Troubleshooting_Battery#The_battery_light_is_flashing_red]

 so I did the full reset (shutdown, removed battery for a few minutes, re-
 installed, powered-up).  The symptom is now gone (battery LED is now
 normal steady dark).  My Battery is at 0:44 remaining (26%).

 I do not know the cause of the problem, or if it persists, or was a one-
 time transient weirdness.  I will leave this ticket open to see if any
 experts can derive clues from the logs.

 The XO itself knew it had a problem. If this is a common problem, maybe a
 user interface extension is justified to tell the owner what to do.  Or
 maybe the XO should try to fix itself?  I spent a couple hours poking and
 diagnosing, and I needed net access to the Wiki knowledgebase.
