Public bug reported:

When you press a key which has a second function (eg K), then the Fn key, then release the K and then Fn is released and is printed continuously until you press another key.
In my case, this is particularly annoying when using the '/' that is the 2nd function of '0' key.
You may repeat this bug via the following sequence in half second intervals:
-Press (and hold) a key wich have 2nd function (another character)
-Press (and hold) Fn
-Release the first key
-Release -fn-key.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Kubuntu Jaunty amd64
