/proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state appears to be the best source.
Comment 2 Greg Nichols 2012-07-31 15:12:20 UTC 
Also in /proc/bus/input/devices

I'm not certain if it's helpful, but it looks like /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 could possibly be a way to system side check the backlight status instead or in addition to asking the user?

Marking as verified based on comment 12, and team discussion.
