Jiri - 

For what it is worth, and understand that it is hard to prove a
negitive, on slack moments over the weekend I repeatedly booted my
system into single user (console) mode using a kernel with
CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED set to yes.

To date I have NOT been able to recreate the repeating key issue outside
of X.
