Since this bug reappeared on my system, this may help;
running gnome-power-manager --verbose
shows this line during the initialization:

TI:00:36:19     TH:0xd42df0     FI:gpm-brightness-xrandr.c      
FN:gpm_brightness_xrandr_setup_display,170
 - No outputs have backlight property

Maybe the g-p-m just doesn't detect that the screen is lcd with backlight, and 
because of that it doesn't turn the backlight off?
Also I've noticed that after the initial display blanking by g-p-m, it will try 
to turn the monitor completely off every 10 minutes, which is the time out set 
in my g-p-m settings, and then after a split second the backlight turns on 
again.
