I can reproduce this, or something very similar.  I'm using q2f04rc and 883 
on a XO-1 c2

For me, the key is to make it happen is removing AC power.  Closing and 
opening the lid works normally if the AC is plugged in.

Without AC, I've seen the battery LED go red at least twice, but I can't make 
it happen now.

Ahh... found it.  I only get the red LED if the battery is fully charged.

What do you call the LED next to the battery LED that indicates that the 
system is running?  That's tangled up in this confusion too.  I've seen my 
system running when that LED is off and seen it turn on when I poke the 
power-off button and back off when I try to start the system.  I'll call it 
the CPU LED.

Starting with a full battery and no AC, the pattern is:
  battery LED is off, CPU LED is on
  close lid
  short delay
  CPU LED goes out
  few second delay
  battery LED goes orange
  few second delay
  battery LED goes red
  pause
  open lid (I've got it setup to auto start)
  system goes active, CPU LED stays off, battery LED stays red, keyboard 
doesn't work

Where is the nice big picture of the XO with labels for everything?  (I 
thought I had it bookmarked.)  How do I find it at times like this?
