As I've reported in bug #636619
It happens for me too. It's still there, I've just checked. It's
triggered by switching layout. After that, it goes crazy and layouts are
switched cycling between my previously configured ones rapidly. Scroll
lock led flashes as well (it's configured to show the non-primary
layout). I can't even type since pressing the same key generates random
character based on the fact which layout was active at the moment when I
pressed the key. xev reports things like this without stopping (even
without toucing the keyboard or the mouse after I managed to launch xev
in a terminal window):

My system was upgraded from the previous version of Ubuntu (lucid lynx)
I am wondering if it can cause the problem and it works with a 'clean'
install (ie: new home directory with gnome/etc settings created by the
current development version of ubuntu). I have four layouts configured,
one of them (USA) is the primary, the others are configured to be
signaled by the scoll lock led, and I switch layouts by key "scroll
lock".
