Battery Drain While On AC Power

I'm on the 3G model and I've noticed that the battery drains three percent down to 97%, WHILE ITS CHARGING! Anyone have a similar experience or an idea why the device is consuming more power than the charger is supplying?

Thanks.

Nope. I'm using the 10W power supply that shiped with both models. I have the wifi model that I bought day one and never experienced this problem with that version. I'm simply laying around surfing, occasionally listening to a song or two, basically goofing off with the thing while it's plugged in and it continues to slowly drain. It's now down to 96% and I have yet to unplug it. The wifi model always stayed at 100%. Hence, theoretically, one could run the battery down even while connected to AC power.
