(Get the code!)
It should stay open for acpid. As I mentioned, by and large X is uninvolved with hotkey stuff now, so it's probably more likely to be in acpid or some other component than in X. But it needs deeper analysis to determine what component is at fault.
Especially since looking at your log, there isn't evidence that X is doing anything unusual at all when the hotkey is hit. The log's contents is entirely typical for performing a vt switch. In other words, so far there is no evidence that this is an X bug.
At the same time, there isn't evidence that it's *not* an X bug, so we can't yet close out the task. But if it is X, -evdev should be the starting point to examine, since that's the thing that has changed the most with respect to keyboard stuff. (It could also be xorg-server).
I'll post another comment with some debugging advice.
