The fix for this issue is to change the keyboard scan codes in the asus-keyboard-backlight-down and asus-keyboard-backlight-up scripts located at /etc/acpi/events/ from:
event=hotkey ATKD 000000c5 event=hotkey ATKD 000000c4
To:
event=hotkey ATK0100:00 000000c5 event=hotkey ATK0100:00 000000c4
In there respective scripts.
And restart the acpi server,
sudo service acpid restart
I used acpi_listen to find the correct codes.

Someone here needs to place this fix into the upstream.
