See if there is any sort of thinkpad-keys or tbp NVRAM poller running, and
if so, kill it.

Does it fixes anything?

thinkpad-acpi really should not make any sort of difference for brightness
control on your thinkpad.  If it does, I may need to add an active filter to
protect you from broken-as-designed-and-I-warned-them-but-they-don't-listen
crap in HAL.

Do you get any thinkpad-acpi events at all when playing with Fn+Home/Fn+End
(ACPI events and/or input events from the thinkpad-acpi input device)?
Please use acpi_listen and lsinput/input-events to check.
