Same problem here on a ThinkPad X230 running Ubuntu 13.04. The brightness-setting isn't saved and goes to maximum on every reboot (annoying!) .
As a workaround i put echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness into /etc/rc.local This worked until the latest kernel update. Now the brightness is set to a lower level during boot, but it goes immediately back to the maximum.
