Comment(by cjb):

 Interesting.  We set it to 2 because of this stanza:

 {{{
 893     ** (ohmd:2042): DEBUG: reset_brightness
 894     ** (ohmd:2042): DEBUG: backlight_get_brightness
 895     ** (ohmd:2042): DEBUG: Level is 2
 896     .
 897     ** (ohmd:2042): DEBUG: Level is 2.
 898     ** (ohmd:2042): DEBUG: Setting value_new to 2, ac: 15, battery:
 15, idle: 6.
 }}}

 I wonder if that's from after the bug has exhibited or before.  Not sure
 what would set this to 2 other than the backlight going out and the user
 hitting the backlight up button.
