I can confirm this on my new Samsung R519 equipped with the GM45 Intel chipset. With a pathed and recompiled kernel by me I can use fn buttons but brightness doesn't change. With /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-misc.fdi modded I can see brightness notifications when I unplug AC power but brightness doesn't change. If i repeat this operation during Usplash it works, so I can choose brightness during Usplash. For example if I turn on pc with battery I'll get low brightness, but I cannot change during session. If you need more informations let me know. I hope this bug will be solved with Karmic cos it's quite impossible to use the pc without brightness regulations, battery is sad about it and my eyes too.
