I am seeing this same bug. Albeit not on Ubuntu 11.10 but on Mint Linux 12, but I believe it to be the same. I am using a Lenovo B570 laptop which has a function key to increase and decrease the screen brightness. So in my case, once I enter the user password to unlock the screen, I then use the function key to increase and restore the screen brightness. This issue occurs regardless if I am running on AC or battery.
