The same thing happen, without video.c loaded I don't have anything in /sys/class/backlight (so I can't echo anything in there), acpi_listen reports nothing when using fn+home but xbacklight works in native and kernel mode. I cant send you the output of debug thinkpad-acpi loading currently but will send it later.
