Not sure. could you add some debug information to
hal-system-power-set-power-save(-linux) to see if hal calls pm-powersave correctly?

pm-powersave (both unstable and experimental) uses on_ac_power from
powermgmt-base to get the ac status, so please check what this tool reports:
on_ac_power
# on_ac_power && echo yes || echo no

Yet keep in mind, that on_ac_power is only called when pm-powersave is called
without an argument. Right now it looks more like the bug is outside of pm-utils
and pm-powersave is not called with the right argument.
