This issue is still present in Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala. I have implemented the following workaround on my system, which is a persistent version of that in update 4 above.

ian@dash:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/asus-backlight-workaround.conf
# Got this from Ubuntu bug 222171.
install asus-laptop /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install asus-laptop; sleep 2; echo 5 > /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ls_level

This is a bug in the asus-laptop kernel module.
