I'm the author of the bug #278078 post. Reading this current bug description & comments, I can see that both bugreports seems to be closely related.
Unfortunately, I haven't got luck with the upstream developers since I opened the bugreport in freedesktop on 2008-10-06:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17925
The "xset r rate 500 25" workaround serves as a method to ease the reproduction of the "left, down & end keys" issue.
