DBus is returning bogus output from HAL it seems. While I cannot see the real reason for that (some problem with brightness setting, it seems), attached patch should work around this specific issue. Note that this might make other, similar problems surface, but we can work through them. Can you try the attached patch, see if that helps, and post console output if you still have problems?
