Thanks for reporting back!
You should send a feature request to Phase One via their Support page. There are a number of UI characteristics that could be changed, and from what I've read on their forum (not FM; the C1 forums), the more "votes" they get for something, the more likely it is to be changed in future versions.
While I agree that interface element behavior shouldn't be dependent on which monitor is being used, I don't share your notion that the brightnesses of the monitors should be different. There are lots of scenarios where both monitors need to be the same brightness if you're doing image editing and other tasks, including some in C1. For example: my C1 culling workspace uses both monitors: primary has a browser in grid display so I can quickly parse through all images in an import. Secondary monitor is a full-screen browser that shows the currently selected image so I can assess details without constantly switching views.
Similarly, when I [briefly] tried LR several years ago, the default dual monitor config that I recall LR creating, had a detailed view + tools on the primary monitor and a large image view on the secondary.
I have a pair of calibrated NEC PA272w's: one set to aRGB and the other to sRGB and I edit in aRGB. With my setup, I can edit as I want for wide-gamut prints (primary monitor) and check/adjust images for web posting on the secondary monitor.
When I started calibrating my monitors a long time ago, I had trouble adapting to calibrated lower brightness settings, but once I got used to it, I actually had less eye strain and lower cd became fine.
