I can confirm that this seems to work. I get the impression that turning it back to "full" doesn't actually take it all the way to the initial maximum brightness, but it's hard to compare - I may well just imagine it. The values in the "backlight" class under /sys certainly thinks it's set at the maximum allowable value.
