Bug or Feature, gnome increases lcd brightness on laptop random?

When on battery, I dim the light on the lcd using the fn-f5 and fn-f6 button. This is all good. To save battery right. Sometimes, completely randomly it seems the brightness is turned to 100%. I used dbus-listen to snatch this up:

signal sender=:1.18 -> dest=(null destination) serial=40 path=/org/gnome/PowerManager/Backlight; interface=org.gnome.PowerManager.Backlight; member=BrightnessChanged
   uint32 100

So I know that it is indeed gnome power manager that causes this to happen. Note that I have deactivated any control of the lcd while on battery. Such as dim light when idle, and reduce light when on battery. It is random, because I can't force it to happen again myself.

Note: Just now when I had the display turned down, and took a pause from typing this post the brightness increased by itself to 100% without me even touching the keyboard.
The following was printed to dbus-listen:

signal sender=:1.18 -> dest=(null destination) serial=41 path=/org/gnome/PowerManager/Backlight; interface=org.gnome.PowerManager.Backlight; member=BrightnessChanged
   uint32 100
signal sender=:1.18 -> dest=(null destination) serial=42 path=/org/gnome/PowerManager/Backlight; interface=org.gnome.PowerManager.Backlight; member=BrightnessChanged
   uint32 100

It would be nice to fix this, it is slightly annoying.

Update: I ran gnome-power-manager in verbose if that provides more useful info:
