A BIOS upgrade from the laptop manufacturer has cured the problem
entirely.  I am now able to run the battery monitor with no effect on
keyboard or touchpad pointer.  I don't know what they changed, but
whatever it was, it's fixed now.  I suppose that it could be a change to
the Linux ACPI code that fixed it, but I suspect it was the BIOS update.
It's a "you tell me and we'll both know" situtation -- I've only just
begun learning about the internals of how ACPI works.
