I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1283589 -
[Samsung NP530U3C-A01] LID close, AC, and battery status events not produced anymore - seems to have some influence over this.

While the FN buttons do not work for keyboard backlight, the automatic sensor seems to be working. However, because of the issue described in the other bug, once the "event buffer" is full, the keyboard backlight sensor will not work anymore.

This means that while solving the other bug doesn't produce working FN keys, it at least makes the keyboard backlight work again.
