Same here. Everytime it goes back up from "dim", it decreases until it hits some magic bottom. I've got a brightness range of 0-8. I adjust it to 7. then, let me illustrate;
idle > 7
dim > 4
idle > 6
dim > 4
idle > 5
dim > 4
idle > 5
dim > 4
idle > 5

And this is what happens when i adjust to 7 (idle) then pull the power and let it run on battery, then put the AC in again (repeatedly);
power > 7
battery > 4
power > 6
battery > 3
power > 5
battery > 2
power > 4
battery > 1
power > 3
battery > 0
power > 2
battery > 0
power > 2
battery > 0

Also, i have to adjust the brightness level myself at each reboot (i do it automatically in rc.local with "cat 7 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness).
