Are you sure? Quoting the manual, page 69:
To recharge an installed battery pack, the computer must be
operating on ac power (that is, connected to the ac adapter)
and in one of the following power states:
o Power on
o Suspend mode
o Safe Suspend mode
o Standby mode
Note: The battery pack cannot recharge while the computer is
in hibernate mode.
Apparently to save weight, the charger's circuitry works off the laptop's
power supply or something. Are you sure your computer didn't just
auto-suspend?
It isn't really that much trouble as long as you remember to suspend
instead of power off. I hardly ever use the on/off switch anymore.
