upower itself does not use the on_ac_power script. But what would be
interesting to see is the output of "sh -ex /usr/bin/on_ac_power" while
your system is on AC.
** Summary changed:

+ [maverick] HD spins down all the time on AC
Interesting, so you still get "Running hook /usr/lib/pm-
utils/power.d/harddrive true" after you connect AC? Can you confirm that
"upower --dump" says "on battery" while it's really on AC?

I have a Dell Latitude D620, if this is of any help.

I can confirm the behaviour, when on battery. The hard disk spin downs
are much too aggressive. Imho we also need to evaluate if the power
saving justify this hook after all. One compromise could be, to install
the harddrive hook but disable it by default.
I can't confirm the problem though, when
Monitoring /var/log/pm-powersave.log while removing and connecting the
power supply, I get this:
