Same deal here on a [testing] laptop. I need to use acpi_backlight=vendor in kernel line to get any backlight control at all. Is it the same for you? If so, the bug might be related to that.

So, my backlight works on /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/ but on every kernel, every distro and every DE uses the /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/.
When I use acpi_backlight=vendor I get /sys/class/backlight/sony but the control still in intel_backlight.
I gave up looking for a solution to control/adjust the backlight, but it must always 100% like on legacy kernel, no?

I have been having backlight issues with my intel hardware since the update from 3.6.11.

I confirm this issue, i always have testing enabled, did a reinstall before figuring out that testing repo was the issue.

The sleep bug happens in ubuntu 13.04 with 3.8.0 too.
The intel_backlight/acpi_video0/sony bug happens with my notebook in all versions I tested (2.6/3.0/3.2/3.4/3.5/3.6/3.7/3.8).....

With me the sleep bug occours just in 3.8.x
On 3.7/3.6... brightness is always at maximum
