This happens across all different contexts within X, such as typing text in an application or an xterm, using an application's hotkeys, and even using the WM's (Xfce) control keys. I have never seen the problem at the console (not even when X is running and I shift back to the console with alt-ctrl-F1), and I have never seen it under kernels in the 2.4.x series (currently kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 2.4.27-11), only under 2.6.x series kernels.
