Upower has some fallback logic in the case of unknown [1] resulting in the incorrect charging state. See upower bugs [2] [3]. If upower would just pass on the unknown state, we could report that as 'nocharge' (tlp does it that way too). I don't know if and for what models or drivers noCharge.patch is effective, but sadly it won't work for any thinkpad model currently being sold.
