We are also seeing this problem on an Acer Travelmate 4000 with kernel 2.6.15-26-686 (2.6.15-26.45).

Repeatedly querying the battery status like below causes most key presses to be lost (about 1 in 10 works) and makes the mouse move in a jerky way:

$ while :; do cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state; done

Adding "i8042.nomux=1" to kernel cmdline made no noticable difference.
