I'm confused. I also have a T520, but the Fn key does not seem to
mis-behave on it at all. I have not gotten brightness adjustment to work
correctly to this point, but Fn has never triggered a power operation for
me. Your statement about acpi_ibm(4) is also baffling as I have no problems
with it with 9.1-Stable or head. It was broken in some earlier versions
before the Lenovo ID was added.

Does your ThinkLight turn on and off if you set dev.acpi_ibm.0.thinklight?
When you press Fn+PgUp? Both work on my T520.

Perhaps I am not completely understanding the issue.
