Any keyboard gurus out there know whats going on? It's a known problem. In case you hold the sysrq combination, all key codes are passed to the sysrq code without any other processing until a SysRq release code is seen to prevent sysrq commands from being passed to apps. Anyway, this has the side-effect you describe, but as I still think of sysrq as of a hacker-only tool and I don't know of any trivial way how to fix it, I don't plan doing anything with it.
