Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.
This is nothing to do with acpi-support, which is a deprecated package for handling only those ACPI events that aren't handled by the standard kernel input layer. Reassigning to gnome-power-manager, which I believe is the package that handles these events in GNOME; though this may also be a bug in the video driver, as there are regressions in backlight handling on some platforms in connection with the conversion to KMS.
