Public bug reported:

In GNOME Power Management Settings, one can set "Dim display when idle".
When this option is checked, and the user allows for a period of
inactivity, the screen will dim. However, after user activity (e.g.,
input from the keyboard, touchpad, or other input device), the screen is
not restored to its original brightness state, but instead remains
dimmed.

Bug #357107 and this bug may be related, since this may have to do with
storage of brightness settings.
