Timing critical problem and race condition inducing inconsistencies
often show many symptoms not directly related to the actual problem.
Fighting these symptoms (kernel bug #9147 *might* be one of them) will
probably solve the issue for some, for some time, under certain
conditions, since you change the timing critical events at some point in
the pipeline. But will not fix the true cause of the actual problem.

The aforementioned blog entry explicitly mentions "here is a problem in
the event handling of X keyboard events, something got changeed there,
since then a certain problem that keys are repeating shows up quite
often", which strongly suggests that this might be the actual cause of
all these keyboard problems with all these different sideeffects.
