I think the problem may be due to /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-hid-ups
interfering with apcupsd, therefore I would try to comment out this
section

  <device>
    <match key="hiddev.application_pages" contains="Power Device Page">
      <append key="info.addons" type="strlist">hald-addon-hid-ups</append>
    </match>
  </device>

in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-power-mgmt-policy.fdi and
then restart hal.
