(Get the code!)
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.
