Why shouldn't the n8x0 use the power from the charger?
I going to guess it has to do with the way the power/charging circuits are setup. Try this out: plug the charger in, take out the battery.

A big capacitor to keep the device on for about 15 seconds during a battery change is one of my major requests for the N900. Most of the old iBooks and Powerbooks had this ability. Shut the lid, swap the battery, and open it back up—you'll still be up and read to go.
