I just wanted to update this. Should have done this a month ago. Apologies.

To confirm what rydberg has written.

One of the October-November updates of either the kernel or X.org seems to have _mostly_ solved the problem.

I no longer experience the non-responsive keyboard input echo problem. This looks definitely fixed.

I still see the much less critical problem of the keyboard character repeat rate being slower than the 'xset' setting of 50 cps.
The good news is that the repeat rate is up from about 24 cps to about 35 cps. A great improvement.

All in all a great improvement in keyboard response so I no longer consider this critical.
Would be nice to get my "hardy heron days" 50 cps keyboard repeat rate back.
