thx a lot alex, tried some combinations of values in the above named
file and ended up with the folling working configuration:

START - WORKAROUND
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-laptop-panel-mgmt-policy.fdi
  [...]
        <!-- for the generic sysfs interfaces -->
        <match key="linux.sysfs_path" exists="false">
          <append key="info.addons" 
type="strlist">hald-addon-generic-backlight</append>
        </match>
        <!-- for all the procfs related brightness interfaces -->
        <match key="linux.sysfs_path" exists="true">
  [...]
and after restarting hal (sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart) all is working now.
END - WORKAROUND
the only strange thing is that my solution is the opposite configuration of 
yours cause you said:
(1: exists="true", 2: exists="false")
