No, it's not expected or, better, let's explain:
according to what I wrote (get screen brightness function) if any user 
is active on the screen it should return screen brightness value, 
otherwise 0.

So, screen brightness has be 0 if:
- no one is logged yet it returns 0 (system startup)
- active user is on tty[1-6] (non X11, even if there's a X11 screen on 
another -not currently used- tty)
- screen is blanked (power saving)

I need to know what were you doing (-eventually- of the things above) or 
what was screen condition during that capture.

Also to know when, exactly, dumped capture has been taken, you can use 
"capture timestamp (epoch)" from "--dump" output:

    date -d @capturetimestamp

eg:

    date -d @1342177408.67


Thanks for reporting.
