I will check 3.10 and earlier 3.11 RCs to see if I can narrow it down.

Title:
  brightness stepping is incorrect (double what it should be)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Problem:  When I press the laptop screen brighteness, each step yield
  an event that is displayed on the OSD but the screen brightness
  doesn't change until the third press. Same happens for decreasing or
  increasing the brightness.

  Exepcted behaviour: Each press of the brightness button on the laptop,
  yield a visible change in the brightness of the LCD scree.

  Workaround: This seems documented and works perfectly. The work around
  is to type this in terminal:

  sudo sh -c 'echo -n 0 >
  /sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled'

  More details are here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/173921/why-does-
  my-thinkpad-brightness-control-skip-steps

  I think this should be fixed in 13.10.
