I just want to confirm that this bug still exists. I am up to date as of
a few minutes ago.

(1) If I ever lower the brightness of the LCD screen using Fn+Down, the 
brightness will eventually (after what seems to be a random amount of time) 
revert to the value originally set in the brightness applet.
(2) I also just noticed that if I lower or raise the brightness using Fn+Down 
or Fn+Up and close the laptop lid, the brightness will revert to whatever was 
originally set in the brightness applet upon reopening the lid. However, if I 
change the brightness directly through the brightness applet and close the lid, 
the brightness will remain at that new level when I reopen the laptop.

It seems like the brightness applet "records" the brightness level so
that it does not change later for any reason. Fn+Down and Fn+Up,
however, seem to change the brightness temporarily, only to be reverted
to the value last set with the brightness applet for one of the two
reasons above.

Steps to repeat issue 1:
1. Use the brightness applet to set the brightness to a given value.
2. Use Fn+Down (Fn+Up not tested, but I expect that would cause the issue also) 
to modify the brightness noticeably.
3. Continue using your computer.
Expected result: The brightness will not change for any reason.
Actual result: The brightness will eventually (randomly, it seems) revert to 
the value you set with the brightness applet in step 1.

Steps to repeat issue 2:
1. Use the brightness applet to set the brightness to a given value.
2. Use Fn+Down or Fn+Up to modify the brightness noticeably.
3. Close the laptop lid.
4. Reopen the laptop lid.
Expected result: Upon reopening the lid, the brightness will remain at the 
level you just set using Fn+Down or Fn+Up.
Actual result: Upon reopening the lid, the brightness will revert to the value 
you set with the brightness applet in step 1.

Would anybody be able to confirm this bug?
