Chris: What part of nq's last comment isn't completely aligned with this bug description? They and I are still having near identical experiences to what you described... Here's how I see it:

 - one key or a combination of keys are indefinitely looped
 - it often kills off modifier keys (shift, alt, etc) but not necessarily all of them
 - usually triggered under load
 - anecdotally associated with mouse clicking (certainly my experience when playing games)
 - associated with Compiz (many users can only reproduce this bug under Compiz - though that may be to do with load)
 - restarting X halts the loop
 - it's a bloody annoying bug

And it's still all over my system. Seriously though, doesn't that MO look a lot like your description? It's all very well stating that this patch fixed it for you but that doesn't mean a variation on the same bug isn't manifesting in other code. Multiple people saying the same thing would tend to suggest this issue isn't (or, at least, shouldn't be) closed.
