Here's a patch which just flips the interpretation of that value over;
does this work?

This works - the backlight stays on, and can be switched off with Fn-F6.
Interestingly the values for setpci -s are still *exactly the same*, as in 0x00 is fully on, 0xFF is off (with graduation in between), despite the values being reversed.
