This is still true with the Radeon driver in Natty. There's no BACKLIGHT property exposed on the LVDS interface.

Gnome Power Manager itself now works around it, with gnome-backlight-helper.
KDE also now somehow works around it, as well.

So, the user-facing portion is fixed, but the original problem (missing BACKLIGHT property) still exists.
