This looks to have been finally fixed in the upstream commits rooted at as below, which is part of the v2.6.28-rc5 rollup:

so for Jaunty this should be fixed in the alpha2 snapshot which should contain this kernel.

For intrepid these patches do appear to apply cleanly to our kernel. So we may be able to backport them to that release. In order to do that we would need to get the functionality tested. To that end I have compiled them up and uploaded some test kernels. Could anyone who has hardware affected by the double increase/decrease in brightness retest with kernels from the URL below. Please ensure any testing is without any of the workarounds.
