I've recently debugged a similar issue in Plasma Next. There, the event seems to arrive just fine, but the plasmoid.status was never updated. Just calling it once helped the problem, but I wasn't able to figure out why. I don't see anything special happening when calling plasmoid.status, other than it's harmless and makes the battery appear reliably. That's 2c18797012 in kdeworkspace[master].

I've tried the same in 4.x, but it didn't work. Since your patch won't make it into Plasma Next, I think I can live with the expense of this hack you propose, compared to its benefits (i.e. it makes things work for our users).
