In case that the original submission is unclear, here's my situation in
UL30A-A2.

Expected behaviour:
fn+f5 lowers brightness, fn+f6 increases brightness.  (worked well in Karmic)

Observed behaviour, in Lucid Beta 1:
Initially, when the computer is first booted, it responds to f5/f6 but in 
random behaviour.
For example, if I press fn+f5, it would lower the brightness, then increase it 
to the maximum, repeat a couple times, and back to somewhat random value 
somewhere in between.
After the initial reaction, fn+f5/f6 key no longer causes any change in 
brightness - for a couple minutes.  For this period, acpi_listen does not seem 
to print out anything when these keys are pressed.
After a couple minutes, these button presses seem to "queue up" and cause 
random changes to the brightness again - acpi_listen reports these values.

Changing the brightness manually with xbacklight shows similar behaviour - 
random changes, or periods of no change.
Using Gnome-power-manager's brightness control slider behaves the same way.
