A few people confirmed that their system always sends keycode 87 for keypad 1/End, independently of NumLock's state. They don't face this bug.

I've connected an external keyboard to my laptop and that one also always sends 87, as opposed to the built-in one.

Really looks like we're facing some broken keyboards.

Anyway, X's behavior is still not reasonable. When NumLock is on, changing the layout and then pressing a modifier shouldn't trigger the keyboard's brain-damaged "geez, NumLock went off, let me alter the keycodes" mode, since NumLock didn't turn off at all.
