To confirm or disprove your idea, you could look at the output of the battery charger rather than the input to it. In general, AC-DC converters are pretty insensitive to the harmonic content of the AC input because their role is to remove any harmonic content they do find. They do this with huge low-pass filters with corner frequencies well under 1Hz, whether the charger is either linear (unlikely) or switching (much more likely). When AC becomes distorted, you start seeing harmonics (i.e. contributions at higher frequencies). Low pass filters are progressively more effective at higher frequencies. This is to say, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the efficiency of the charger itself suffered, but the output voltage was unaffected, meaning the laptop was unaffected.
