(Get the code!)
The showkeys output shows that the kernel driver is synthesizing the correct keypress events for these hotkeys, but that the desktop stack is not subsequently able to handle them.
We can easily restore the sony scripts to the acpi-support package, but the right way to fix this is if gnome-power-manager (or other desktop package as appropriate) will know what to do with these events on your hardware. So I'm opening a task on gnome-power-manager for this. If that doesn't manage to work itself out in time for release, I'll restore the acpi-support script.
