I have similar problems. I'm using Thinkpad r50e, ubuntu 8.04, fully updatet (kernel 2.6.24-17-generic). After kernel update I've rebooted four times: 3 times the brightnes was at top level, once it was lower. (with previous kernel it was lower all the time - I think).
In additon my screen dims when restarting X.
