Several days' more experimentation have shown that if I leave my Kindle along, connected to a power supply, for anything up to about 20m, once it goes to sleep (which happens after about 5m of inactivity) it continues to index at full speed. Leave it for longer than about 20m, though, and indexing essentially stops, only resuming again when I wake the Kindle up by opening the cover or pressing the power button.
Then it must be going into deep sleep even when on the charger. That probably gets it brownie (greenie?) points with various agencies, but I doubt that saves a significant amount of electricity.

I still think that if indexing is in progress and the charger is attached, it should defer deep sleep. That would result in 0 net change in electricity use and a significant benefit to the customer, which Amazon claim to have an extreme focus on.

If they really want to be helpful, indexing should stop if the charger is disconnected and the battery drops below 25% whether it is asleep or awake.
