I think that the DSDT is very creative on recent Lenovos (read: broken). There are multiple video devices defined, with "functional" calls that nonetheless don't work to actually do anything. The acpi_get_handle() call in acpi_video returns a handle that has no active outputs and doesn't have any control over the brightness. The other path can control brightness. Here's a related discussion on Linux, I'm not sure how much applies other than the situation discussed: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.devel/57228 The same thing happens on AGP thinkpads, I believe, based on Mitsuru Iwasaki's comment a long time ago to an X220 thread.
