After updating the system to the new kernel 3.0.0.15-generic the problem
was partially resolved. Now the system remebers your choice of screen
brightness level. You don't have to re-adjust it every time you waku up
the system. But still screen adjustment control works wierdly - if you
repeatedely goes from min to max step by step the real level of
brightness goes min-max with every button press. So it's possible to fix
it but in an unlogical way.

Title:
  Screen brightness resets to minimized when screen turns off

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The brightness of the laptop screen (Dell D430, intel video, standard
  driver) always resets to minmized when screen turns off and on again.
  While trying to make it maximized using standard keys the brightness
  progress bar does not function properly - if one presses continuously
  "brightness up" the progress bar goes up and then down with every
  press. Still after several presses it's possible to maximize the
  brightness of the screen.
