I managed to fix my LCD-turns-off issue by editing my DSDT;  it turns out that 
whoever coded it foolishly used "if LEqual" instead of "if LLessEqual", which 
meant that any time an invalid brightness value was passed in, the LCD would 
turn off.  I changed the conditions to make more sense, and now I no longer get 
the horrid blinking.
However, it would be nice if HAL and the kernel would pass correct (as in, not 
unlisted) brightness values to the ACPI controller.  I still don't get why the 
values of 12, 37, 62, and 87 didn't work, though.

LCD backlight turns off when between discrete levels, both from hotkeys and 
from dim-on-idle.
