So by total coincidence I reproduced exactly this behavior (*) (while not trying to do so) on system running 2.6.24-rc3, with PS/2 keyboard.
Andi, are you absolutely sure that this appeared between .29 and .30 for you?
And if so, is there any chance you could try bisecting it?
(*) have been on virtual desktop where firefox was running, switched to console using Ctrl-Alt-F1, and switched back to X using F7. Firefox then popped up some dialog about configuring some feature that is triggered by pressing F7/AltF7, or whatever. Is that what you are seeing?
