Okay, so I've discovered that on my laptop the in-built keyboard and the USB keyboard are behaving differently. Initially they both had the small delay problem. The xset command affects them both in the same way as the keyboard options dialog (i.e. only slightly and with the delay too small).

I have an odd twist on this. For me, it seems like there are two settings. If I set the delay to minimum, and the speed to max, I get the following behavior: Immediately repeat is very fast, until the default (unconfigurable) delay time expires, at which point the repeat rate slows down again.
