I believe it is a sample done only when the processor is not sleeping, otherwise the battery meter would run down the battery.

Actually the battery gauge is only updated on page changes or other activity. I have seen it toggle between two adjacent bars from time to time. A battery with no load or light load will have a higher voltage than one that is heavily in use. Even a non-rechargeable battery will have this effect. There is also hysteresis built into the gauge system itself. These are the reason that a charge it near the edge of transition will toggle back a forth a few times before reaching the lower setting.
