"AC" or "ADP0" in /etc/acpi/handler.sh?
/etc/acpi/handler.sh has these lines which check for the AC adaptor being plugged/unplugged:
case "$1" in
...
ac_adapter)
case "$2" in
AC)
case "$4" in
00000000)
...
But on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A305-S6916), any commands I put in this section didn't get run. Some debugging showed that handler.sh was being invoked as follows when I plugged/unplugged the adaptor:
ac_adapter ADP0 00000000 00000000
ac_adapter ADP0 00000000 00000001
Sure enough, replacing "AC" with "ADP0" in handler.sh fixed the problem. So maybe the handler.sh distributed with acpid should support both "AC" and "ADP0".

Post a feature request in the bugtracker - the devs don't always read the forum.

Seems that someone else had a similar problem, which I didn't find before: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21767. No indication that there are any plans to fix it, though.

It may or may not be fixed, but clearly it's not a high priority. handler.sh as provided is a generic example, and I would think most users will change it to suit their particular requirements, as you did.
