A fallback to acpid would be great (as that one usually needs to run anyway for power button etc. to work).
At the very least, it should catch the exception, though.

No trace of Hal in sugar these days.
HAL is finally going to die. gnome-power-manager seems to use DeviceKit-power for the battery and power management part.
