This bug has been fixed upstream since 2.6.34-rc6 by this commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3143751ff51a163b77f7efd389043e038f3e008e

I've rebuilt the i915 module in 2.6.32 with the patch above and the
brightness keys are working again as expected. I've been using this for
almost a month already, no hiccups or whatsoever. That being said, I
hope that the Ubuntu kernel devs will backport the fix, which has been
available for about FOUR months now, as soon as possible. This bug is
really annoying but can be readily fixed. Thanks.
