I believe there are two issues:
- What you're explaining is correct. Even the builtin battery meter tends to keep on saying "the battery just got better" up to an hour after rebooting.
- Tracker. Or metalayer or whatever it's called on Diablo. Indexing 4 GiB takes a load of time -- plenty of time to suck power without overheating anything.

I've also found a few weird things. First reboot usually shows 100% battery even if before rebooting it was at 90%. Second reboot shows half the battery. Every other reboot shows "battery low" warning. This was with around half an hour between reboots (was trying to create a hildon-desktop patch and messed something up ).
