Sounds like the same issue.

Is there any resolution? From the link you provided to #49, I don’t see that it’s been fixed.

Unfortunately there is currently no solution. This isn't really an issue of MonitorControl. It seems to be an issue of the library that handles the DDC stuff.
I ended up using https://github.com/fnesveda/ExternalDisplayBrightness. That app has a workaround for this issue. It still isn't working on all setups but maybe you are lucky and it works for you.
