I can confirm this. When trying to assign the brightness keys to a keyboard shortcut the message: "The key you just pressed isn't supported by Qt" is displayed.

Since in Jaunty the /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh is removed so I can't change the backlight of my laptop with Kubuntu but in Ubuntu because later one supports my keys out of the box in guidance-power-manager. Changing the brightness in the KDE power plasmoid works fine so it is only a key problem.

xev definitely shows my keys as supported:
