Same issue with a Dell Inspiron 6000. I did find that the other flag that does not key on idle time ("battery time drops below...") works fine. I've resorted to unplugging my laptop and letting the battery drain in order to force the computer to hibernate after a few hours (and with <5 minutes of battery life left).
