No. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get rid of it:
- much worse repeatable under debug
- it is repeatable only on my working machine, not one I use for debugging Xorg (notebook)

At first everything was fine until I started playing with keyboard settings (gnome-keyboard-properties -> Layouts -> Layout Options). Wait a minute ... Ahhhh, things go wrong if "Use keyboard LED to show alternative layout"->ScrollLock is on! That is why I couldn't reproduce it on my notebook (it doesn't have keyboard LEDs). Mmm, it is much better now :)

As for the patch, you can use Oded Arbel' repository to try it without building
Xorg yourself, http://launchpad.net/~oded-geek/+archive/xorg-patches .

P.S. I am not a developer of Xorg so I could not commit anything. On the other hand, the devs seems to be not interested too. nobody cares :(
