Congratulations, now we know how you spent your Christmas!

Guess it's a race condition, as per the documentation, have you tried adding  i915.invert_brightness=1  as a kernel parameter instead?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/backlight#Inverted_Brightness_.28Intel_i915_only.29

Also found this, you've probably read through all this already today:
http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fixing_the_Linux_black_screen_of_death_on_machines_with_Intel_HD_video.html

Once you've finalized your solution i will update the wiki or feel free to update yourself so next user doesn't need to reinvent the wheel:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:xorg-video_driver_packages#dcore_graphic_notes
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:installations#dcore_hardware_installation_notes

Thanks.

JLS - I misunderstood the question of why the dCore kernel is not compiled with dCore.  The aim was to be able to share kernel modules between Core and dCore.  Since there is a config change between Core and dCore in regards to DEVTMPFS since dCore now has to accomodate systemd, the build is not exactly the same.  Perhaps one day if the kernel config is again the same, the ability to share kernel modules from Core to dCore and vice versa can be realized.

Thanks for the pointers, Nitram! Adding the kernel parameter to the boot stanza works well. In fact, as mentioned in the second of your links at the very end, it is enough to add "acpi_backlight=vendor". This also eliminates the need for loading the graphics extension manually. Yay!

I have updated both sections in the wiki.
