This workaround worked for me on a Dell Latitude E5530 running Ubuntu 16.04.
In the file:
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.UPower.conf
change:
    <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.UPower"
           send_interface="org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight"/>
to:
    <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.UPower"
           send_interface="org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight"/>

and reboot.
