I found a workaround, which is to disable automatic dimming when idle,
using the following command:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim-battery
false

Title:
  Screen brightness increases by itself

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If I decrease the screen brightness using the Fn-F5 key to the lowest level, after a few seconds of inactivity (without touching the keyboard nor the touchpad) the screen brightness goes up automatically to a medium level.
  Then, as soon as I move the pointer, the brightness is increased to the maximum level.

  From this point on, the screen brighness alternates automatically
  between medium/maximum level. That is, it decreases when idle, and
  increases when using the keyboard or mouse.

  The expected behaviour is that brightness does not change by itself
  once set using the Fn keys.

  This bug happens when on battery power.
  I didn't try on AC power.
