I'd like to ask what happened to this issue, because I'm seeing similar
messages on latest 3.8-rc4 as well, and I cannot read the battery
info anymore once this happens and the laptop does not suspend to RAM
anymore -- it suspends fine before these messages.

The laptop is a Macbook Pro with retina display and I'm using the
develpoment version of openSUSE 12.3 updated as of yesterday.

Here is the output from dmesg:
