I saw this too a few weeks ago. I wonder if this is a known issue and
perhaps fixed already.

I think this is known.

This is known issue, see

You have to put some modules in /etc/modules. Either usb-ohci or
usb-uhci depending on your USB controller, plus at least usbkbd
(perhaps others, I'm not sure, sorry). Load usb-[ou]hci and usbkbd
(modprobe <foo>) and then plug the USB keyboard in and see if it
works.
