Did you try this on a text console?
The X11 drivers often override those functions.

Just for reference, on my system Fn-F7 works on a text console but never
on X11. Expand toggle works on a text console and on X11 with the radeon
driver, but not with X11 and fglrx.

That shouldn't change anything, ibm-acpi calls the exact same functions
the Thinkpad would call directly if the keys weren't intercepted by
ibm-acpi.
