Hi, Sorry for the delayed answer, I couldn't test things right away. After one of upgrades (I can't recall what package and when exactly did it happen) this issue was mostly fixed. The bad behaviour I described in the first message now occurs much, much rarer; I'd say, practically never, or at least rare enough to not be very annoying. Though keyboard backlight still never works from the first start (that's why I said "mostly fixed").
