** Description changed:

  If I am in a dark room and using the phone, I like to move the
  brightness down to the dimmest value via the indicator. If I'm using an
  app that requires concentration (eg, playing Sudoku) the screen might
  dim even further while I'm thinking (somewhat odd in and of itself, but
  this is a visual cue that the screen is about to blank, so 'ok'). If I
  click within the app, the screen is brightened not to the value I
  selected for the dark room I am in (ie, the dimmest), but to some other
  brighter value.
  
  Interestingly, if I adjust to the dimmest setting and let the screen
  blank, when I unblank, the screen brightness setting is remembered
  thereafter (ie, I can play sudoku, let the screen dim, touch the screen
  and then it is at the brightness I previously selected).
  
  What seems to be happening is that the indicator dims the screen, but
  the value is not actually saved until screen blank and tapping the
  screen after screen dim before blanking resets it to the previously
  saved value (ie, not the one I just set via the indicator). Performing
  various combinations of setting brightness, dimming, blanking, etc seems
  to confirm this.
+ 
+ UPDATE: I'm not sure that the dimmest setting is actually remembered
+ after screen blank after all-- I was sure that I witnessed this, but
+ then last night it didn't appear to be working this way. Maybe there is
+ another bug in play....
