Hmm, maybe that thing isn't that reliable anyway... I just observed that
it seems to oscillate between "Charging" and "Discharging" when the
battery is nearly 100% full.

Looking around in the /sys tree I found something else:
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/chgstate
It says "enabled usb_present" when charger is plugged in, and is empty
when running from battery.

I'm just guessing, though. Is there anyone here who can tell a reliable
method to find out whether a charger is present or not on the
Freerunner?
