If you have kernel-power, you can stop BME and load bq27x00_battery kernel module for battery information. Status menu plugin automatically switch to bq module if is loaded/unloaded.
I know, with your kernel module it shows more possible value either the documentation is wrong or my n900 (and foobar's one?) is somehow broken. I charged my main (cssu stable) device overnight, now it has 84% and battery.remaining_time is 14400 (0x3840) which would be 4h... oh, wait, this is funny, percentage dropped to 83 and battery.remaining_time is now 18000 (0x4650) which would be 5h. Strange, I think I'll write a script which will check these two values every 10 minutes and run it in the background after my next full charge untill almost full discharge.

edit: 82% and 14400 again.

edit 2: 81% and enormously low 3600 (0xe10)... and for 80, 7200 (0x1c20) - something is really messed up in here. and again, 10800 for 80... maybe it is the current value based on the device usage in the very moment? i'll play with it later
