This has been out for a few days now but got mostly buried in the D700 buzz.  The D300 has received a firmware update to 1.03 from Nikon and supposedly the battery reading dead when it is not dead issue has been resolved.  I have seen this happen a few times with my 70-200 lens but was able to resolve it myself by cleaning the lens contacts.  Perhaps this update makes such failure less likely to happen.  If you are having this problem I would suggest you try this firmware update and also wipe clean your lens and body contacts.
