i see this to on week old -current. if ukbd(4) delays break code then 
this might explain state synchronization problem with kbdmux(4). i guess 
we should start digging into ukbd(4), starting with ukbd_interrupt() to 
see why this happening.

have you tried to look at other bsd's (i.e. netbsd for example)?

i do not think this has anything to do with the keyboard. i have 
ps/2-to-usb converter and use ps/2 keyboard with it, and, it has exactly 
the same problem.

thanks,
