After starting a session, the numpad behaves as if Mouse Keys is enabled. Going to Settings > Universal Access > Mouse Keys shows that the feature is disabled. To disable Mouse Keys, the setting must be enabled first, then disabled. Alternatively, the following commands must be used in terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable true
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-enable false
These settings will only persist for the session. It has been observed that the function seemingly enables itself during a session, with no known trigger. At the same time, the num lock or shift + num lock hotkey does not function. Whether that is a separate bug is another story, but neither key combination results in the accidental or purposeful activation or deactivation of Mouse Keys.
Problem observed in Ubuntu 18.04. gsettings-desktop-schemas version 3.28.0-1ubuntu1. Has been previously observed in 17.10 and 16.04.
Current temporary workaround is to add the two commands above into a script to run on startup. This does not solve inadvertent activations later on, however.

EDIT: Mouse Keys observed to enable itself when I type "xset led on" into terminal to enable keyboard backlight.
