GNOME battery display doesn't agree with /sys data

My laptop, which is running F18 and GNOME, has been plugged in all day.
I've just noticed that the battery level indicator on the top bar is
indicating that the battery is being charged, and is only at 39%.

However:

    # cd /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0
    # cat energy_full_design
    57200000
    # cat energy_full
    54956000
    # cat energy_now
    52657000

    (wait a few minutes, then...)

    # cat energy_now
    52657000

Which leads me to suspect that my battery is in fact fully charged, and
that there's a bug in GNOME.

So,

1) is my conclusion correct,
2) and if so, what component would I need to report a bug against?
