I can also reproduce this. I don't get full brightness when brightness automatically dims.

On top of that, in the "Reduce backlight brightness when on battery" option, if I swap to battery and later to AC, it happens the same. This can be a problem, as described in this situation (numbers are approximate):

1- AC power (100% brightness)
2- Battery (75%)
3- AC power (85%)
4- Battery (60%)
5- AC power (75%)
6- Battery (45%)
[...]
Until screen loses all its brightness.

I suppose the same behaviour could happen with the "Dim display when idle" issue.
