I'm seeing similar things here. I can't raise the volume about 40% here. I opened Kmix and watched it while I raised and lowered the volume with the hotkeys. It seems it's adjusting the Treble control along with the master volume (although it's adjusting the Treble at a different ratio than the master). The net effect is that once the Treble control reaches 100%, the master hits 40% and won't go any higher. I can manually adjust the volume with Kmix, but this is less than optimal. :(
I also upgraded Gutsy to Hardy Alpha 5.
