FYI, I found others dealing with this bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14679

There is a patch located at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=23958 which resolved my issues. This is a Toshiba ACPI BIOS bug. It looks to be specific to Toshiba laptops with the Insyde BIOS and ATI graphics cards/chipsets. The patch has a workaround for the broken ACPI functionality.

Instructions for compiling this patch into a custom kernel can be found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1301101&page=8 , in post # 71.
