I think the underlying cause of this bug is still present in Lucid.

Steps to recreate:

Activate SWCursor option in xorg. This will make the cursor refresh slower (and is needed in some workaround scenarios).
Open a text file in an X based text editor.
Start to move the cursor around by holding down the left/right arrow buttons.
After just a second the key input will start to repeat forever, locking any other X input.
Depending on key repeat speed set in Gnome preferences the problem may or may not occur.

There may be some kind of overflow in X that causes the key input to
repeat forever.
