The only time I have seen my charge indicator JUMP like this is when I first turn it on (from sleep). If I immediately go in to check the battery level, it will sometimes jump like this, but I have always figured that this was because the initial value it showed was incorrect because it hadn't really detected it yet (because I just turned it on). I have never seen it jump when it has been on for awhile and then I do a battery check. I have seen it go down 1%, and when it is draining rapidly I can watch it drop several percents, but always in 1% steps.
I think you may be right about turning the Nook completely off after a charge to get around the draining problem. In fact, I will try this next time I recharge, which is coming soon (I'm about 50% now). My Touch will be a good test of this idea, because I have a very reliably ill-behaved Touch. Unless I use my topping-off routine (spelled out above), it always drains rapidly after a recharge (about 1% per hour); topping it off always fixes it. We shall see about the total turn-off...
