I have a D1 and agree with most of the above.
Nominal Voltage is not the crux, Amps are.
You will note similar behavior when the battery is about halfway down its charge, if you do some bracketing or other rapid shots: the indicator will drop suddenly. Switsch the camera off for some time and it will come up with the charge inidcator on Full.
Remember also: the battery pack consists of a number of cells, connected in series: it take just one weak cell to ruin any performance.
Similar afffecsts van be observed with some of the Nikon flash units: some bands of alkaline batteries perform much better than some (well known) brands, just because they can supply more Amps (current).
