Repeating keypresses

I have been seeing a return of the error described by these threads and this bug report:

The problem is that sometimes (randomly) a key is registered as being pressed continuously until the key is repressed. The bug was closed upon the upgrade to 1.7.3.901-2 by removing the sigaction patch that (ostensibly) caused it. Now, on xorg-server 1.7.3.903, I'm seeing the same behavior. Is anyone else seeing this?

I've nothing interesting in my logs, and I cannot say at what time it started up, since I've not been using my computer much lately. I've just been checking e-mail and running a pacman -Syu for the past week or two, so it must be something from within that set, I think.
