xrandr --brightness resets gamma ratio

[G.M.]

$ xrandr --verbose | grep -iE '(gamma|bright)'
        Gamma: 1.0:1.0:1.7
        Brightness: 1.0
$ xrandr --output VGA1 --brightness .75
$ xrandr --verbose | grep -iE '(gamma|bright)'
        Gamma: 1.0:1.0:1.0
        Brightness: 0.75

As can be seen in the above command output, changing the brightness with xrandr resets the gamma ratio to 1/1/1/ instead of 1/1/.6 (values in xrandr --verbose output are inverted...)
