Can confirm the bug.
It happens on my laptop too (Kubuntu 10.04, Acer Extenza 5620z intel X3100). The bug disappears when I disable KMS support ('nomodeset' kernel's option).
Also I found advice how to resolve the problem on the one forum.
You need to add GrabDevice option to the evdev keyboard, i.e. add to the xorg.conf something like this:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev keyboard grabdevice"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "GrabDevice" "True"
EndSection
It resolves the problem, but sometimes mouse is frozen after switching to vt7.
