You can't execute scripts directly that way, so this is expected and not a bug. The program to call is pm-powersave true|false, this means, when power is unplugged pm-powersave true must be called and pm-powersave false when you plug it back in. Do you use a program like gnome-power-manager, that does this for you? How do you know btw, that pm-powersave is not run?
