Thanks, but the manpage doesn't talk about "available information":
-t | --thermal 
 show thermal information

But -t doesn't show thermal information here. This does not mean that this is 
an acpi bug, only that acpi exposes a bug somewhere. But if you believe that 
this is no acpi bug, then the bug report should be reassigned rather than 
closed.

This is why I'm not sure this isn't an acpi bug. If the bug isn't in something 
acpi relies on (missing information is just a "missing feature"), then the 
bug is in acpi for not properly handling a missing feature. However, if 
you're sure that Linux is buggy, then I'm fine with reassigning the bug to 
Linux.
