Hi,
I can confirm that the bug is still present on Karmic stable - HAL 0.5.13 (fresh install on FE31M).

I fixed it changing the file "/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-sony-laptop-brightness.fdi" at line #160:

from
   <remove key="info.addons" type="strlist"></remove>
to
   <remove key="info.addons" type="strlist">hald-addon-generic-backlight</remove>

This prevent HAL from using the generic addon to manage the backlight.
Hope it helps.
