I had the same problem on a samsung q210 laptop.

#sudo apt-get remove mouseemu

solved the problem, after a reboot(?).

Bug description:
the two common led on my keyboard (NumLock and CapsLock) stopped functioning properly.
The related key continue working (if I press CapsLock characters get enabled and disabled, even if I don't see the light), but the leds don't give any response. Regarding to the NumLock key it doesn't work in MacBook probably missing some xmap configuration in x11-xkb-utils.
 
My xmodmap file has this configuration:
keycode 115 = ISO_Level3_Shift
keycode 49 = section plusminus
keycode 94 = grave asciitilde
