I personally can confirm the issue. I first noticed it with another Linux distro (a rescue distro) that loaded menu.c32 by default. From syslinux 3.53 to 3.61, the bug existed. The last patch (to the syslinux core/) before 3.62 resolved the issue. 3.62 and later work without any known issues with respect to this. Certain older versions also do not have this issue.

I've only noticed it with the Dell OptiPlex GX620 and BIOS A11. A10 and below do not have this issue. If menu.c32/vesamenu.c32 was not loaded, the USB keyboard worked without any troubles (using the vanilla syslinux).

I can provide binaries and/or the commit SHA1 name if needed.
