I guess at least then you'll be able to prove whether or not using the multi-tasking bar is killing the app.

As I hinted to above, it is possible to see that fast battery drain without any third party backgrounded apps involved. Or at least it has been in the past, as well as my 3G doing it for a while (as documented on a thread here somewhere) I've seen it happen occasionally on my wife's 3G as well. I haven't seen it happen since she moved to 3.1.2 though.
