This should be fixed for the Thinkpad X230 in the upstream 3.14-rc4 kernel by these two commits:

commit bd8ba20597f0cfef3ef65c3fd2aa92ab23d4c8e1 - ACPI / video: Filter the _BCL table for duplicate brightness values
commit 0e9f81d3b7cd0649a3bc437391b6a0650f98f844 - ACPI / video: Add systems that should favour native backlight interface

The first one has been cc'd to the stable kernel series. A PPA of the 3.14-rc4 kernel is available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and instructions on how to install an uninstall it are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
