Bug Description
I am using profile "powersave". After a few minutes of waiting the screen blanks. Then when touching the mouse again, screen brightness is set to 100% rather than 19% as set in "powersave" settings. 100% setting is used in "performance" profile, but I never select it. After resumin the KPowerSave status dialog does show the current profile as "powersave" even though the brightness is wrong.
To fix this I have to switch profiles or enter kpowersave configuration after each screen blank, or accept a shorter battery life.

I can also confirm this.
Whenever the screen on my laptop is blanked (or after waking up from suspend), the screen brightness goes to 100% after display is turned back on. Also, my "Reduce brightness" keys stop working and I have to press "Increase brightness key" first (although brightness is already at 100%), and only then I am able to reduce brightness.
More annoying bug than a really critical one. Still...
