I saw one a while ago.

The context for mine was that the battery light was red on what I thought was 
a good battery.  I was trying to get from Linux to the firmware to collect 
some battery info.

In hindsight, it's not too surprising that the system was confused about the 
lid-sensor since it was known to be confused about the battery.
