I suspect there is a feature built into the display drivers similar to that of television sets with dynamic contrast ratios. You'll need to dig around in there.
Actually, content of the screen can change affect the auto-brightness. The light sensor is usually quite close to the screen, above the keyboard. If the screen moves from displaying a bright image to a dark image, or vice-versa, it can affect how much light is picked up by the sensor.
