I'm not certain, but I would break out the volt-meter and check that you are getting the proper 2.5 volts across the data pins when it's not connected to a computer (or the computer is turned off)
AFAIK The power control chip stuff is for:
a) tricking the ipod into thinking that it's plugged into a computer
b) getting the ipod to safely accept higher voltages for faster charging.
but neither of these things should affect you.
