Currently, that setting is absolute (e.g. dim to 20% when inactive for X minutes). However, if I am already running at 10%, it will *increase* brightness of the screen after X minutes of inactivity.

Either there should be a check against that, or the desired brightness should be handled relative to the current brightness (e.g. -20%)

There's a check already, added by the following commit:  http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/commit/?id=ab07509cdf0fa05c56ae61a020abce2ac1fb28cb
(it's not part of any release yet, though)

It's fixed in git master and is probably even released in 1.2.0 (for sure in 1.3.0).
