Well, it is a "known" issue we discovered at Mandriva last week while
pushing the last bits of HAL / pm-utils for 2007.1 :

Basically, any hald script outputting something on stderr will cause
hald to abort.

In your case, one of the pm-utils script wasn't migrated correctly to
the supposed FHS compliant way and you get shell error and boom.

For now, I'm workarounded that in our package by forcing 2>/dev/null in
all calls to pm-utils, but I confess it is really ugly.
