I spoke to Ted about this bug. We have deliberately removed the AC brightness slider because it is a very confusing and unpredictable feature, and I have to say that I agree. Until gnome is able to work sensibly with user adjusted brightness, it would be best not to annoy/confuse users. I regularly had to adjust my brightness because gnome was obeying settings and changing it. I think this should be re-filed as a wishlist to have a sane startup value remembered and then the other brightness options to work relative to whatever the current brightness is.
