Need help debugging a strange issue with the modifier keys

I performed a pacman -Syu earlier this week, checked for any necessary things in pacdiffviewer, etc. Now, I notice the following issues:

-While using wine, if I interact with my WM (openbox) or my popup terminal (Tilda) using a modifier key and switch back to wine, wine sees one or more of the modifier keys pressed when they are not. It actually appears as though there is more than one keypress signal being sent. For example, if I type "asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf" in the wine window, I will get "asdf", and then it will all be deleted on the next press of "a", leaving just the "a". This would be consistent with hitting <ctrl>a, then hitting a. Additionally, it appears as though <super> is registering as pressed as well. Quickly mashing the modifier keys once when I switch back to the wine window fixes this. I have yet to see this issue anywhere else.

-I use Kupfer (AUR). Since the update, Kupfer will not raise on its call command, <super>space. Also, when raised via terminal or the openbox menu, its Preferences window will not open. Deleting config files, uninstalling/reinstalling, and even installing the newer git version yield exactly the same results, so I assume it isn't a problem with Kupfer itself. Running it in terminal produces a mess of python errors (below) both on load and when I attempt to access the Preferences window.

My problem is that I'm at a loss for what to do next. I found a post in the Debian bug logs that indicated the issue could be seen using xkbwatch, but I'm not seeing any "LEDs" staying lit as the poster there did.

I suppose it's possible that these are independent issues, but the fact that they occurred together makes me wonder if there's a deeper problem. In either case, how would I go about figuring out the root cause?

Kupfer errors:
