Good news, thanks. I'll add it to the list.

Thanks for the description.

I've had several reports of that on this generation of MacBook Pro but I
have no idea what it is going on here. As I don't have access to the
hardware, I rely on people who do to fix this.

Running pommed in debug mode should shed some light on the issue. Either
it's the SMC not liking a setting of 0, or the ambient light sensors are
acting funny (as if they ever acted otherwise...), triggering the
backlight again.

In the first case, there's probably a way to work around the issue. In
the second case, ... I don't know. IIRC these machines lack the
"backlight off" button that was present on previous generations :(
