The new BIOS did not resolve the issue, however creating
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf
with the contents:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" # use your backlight that works here
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
works to workaround it.
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
