As far as I can tell, it probably is, so I'm marking it as such.
Btw, although the workaround of a user-level setting to never dim the screen works in part, the screen will also dim on lightdm before anyone has logged in, if one waits long enough.  Then the screen also cannot be rebrightened, and logging in does not reawaken/rebrighten it.

Title:
  after screen dims (idle / screensaver), cannot rebrighten it

Status in Gnome Settings Daemon:
  New
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This feature worked fine in 11.04. Now, if I leave my screen for a couple of minutes it dims.  When I press a key, it only brightens a little bit. I can hardly see what I'm typing right now.
  Before the first such dimming, using the brightness keys works fine to control brightness. AFter the first screensave, they don't work.

  The laptop is plugged in.

  When I press a key after it's gone into powersaving/screensaving mode, the screen should rebrighten.
  Also, the controls for brightness should continue to work.
