I had very similar issues but my problem was /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/ was
not proper for my remote.   I was using an Antec Veris case that depends
on the imon driver.

With lirc configured to use the devinput I could get some buttons but
not all of them via 'irw'.  My solution was to take the older
/usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad and merge in into the
new /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/imon_pad to have all of the codes I use to have
prior to a 12.04 dist upgrade.  Once this was done and I rebooted I
could get all my keys.  (more notes on my fix here:
http://torawk.blogspot.ca/2012/08/devinput-antec-veris-imon-remote-
used.html )

I came across this bug while trying to fix it and it sounds like similar
symptoms -- so perhaps this is an alternative fix? and easier to do than
recompiling.

I've attached my new /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/imon_pad is case it helps.

Title:
  mce remote doesn't work due to out of date lircd.conf.devinput

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a MCE USB IR remote that doesn't work with 12.04 out of the
  box.

  What I did
  * disable lirc and confirm devinput events are received correctly with evtest or ir-keytable -t
  * reenable lirc and configure to operatve via devinput and select the appropriate device
  * start irw and press some buttons on remote

  What I expected to happen
  * irw displays keypresses

  What actually happened
  * Nothing was displayed by irw
  * after rebuilding lirc package with --debug argument passed to configure, the following lines were printed to syslog:
   Jul 26 18:23:11 bedroom lircd-0.9.0[1848]: you are using an obsolete devinput config file: Success
   Jul 26 18:23:11 bedroom lircd-0.9.0[1848]: get the new version at http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput: Success

  I updated that file and irw started sending messages.
