Today I decided to grab the bull by the horns, so I did a few more attempts.
First, I’m now running a stock 3.6.1 kernel. This is what I get now:

ACPI Error: [^^^PEG0.PEGP.DD02] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND
(20120711/psargs-359)
ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC__._Q18] (Node
ffff880246833b40), AE_NOT_FOUND (20120711/psparse-536)

Basically, it looks like the only change is the version of ACPICA I’m running;
everything else is still the same: the buttons don’t work, but I can manually
adjust the brightness echoing the new level to sysfs.


I did notice today that I’m getting notifications in my syslog from acpid; it
seems to actually receive the keypresses, it just doesn’t know what to do with
them.
So I quickly wrote an acpid event handler which invokes a shell script to do
the adjustment matching the key that was pressed, and now the keys magically
work!

I’m not sure I would call it a fix, since I still get the namespace lookup
failure, but in the end I got the functionality I was after, so I’m good for
now.

Of course if you want me to test kernel patches or provide more information,
I’m still available. Also, if anyone reading is interested in the acpid script,
I can attach the two files here.
