Interesting; few people confirm in bug 840683 that the dimming doesn't occur at all. The bug's description and second comment suggest that the 'dim on idle and on power' option isn't even coded or at least its description is misleading. What graphic card do you use? I recommend you to follow that bug report too. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.
