Andreas Hasenack pointed out on IRC that, on Ubuntu 8.04, his brightness keys do work (as I reported as well), but he is also able to reproduce the num_lock misbehaviour. So it appears that the num lock / gconf issue may be old, but that something new has caused the brightness keys to stop working when that gconf key is set.
