I am not sure what you mean by that,
but pressing those keys does dim my monitor.
That makes me thinks the event is "catched"
("consumed", "processed" - I don't know the terminology)
before it reaches the xev application (running in cwm).
And that is (I speculate) why the OP also doesn't see the key processed
in his window manager - because it never even reaches the window manager.
