FWIW, I have lived with the similar issue, albeit with WinXP client under vmware workstation on a FC2 and FC4 hosts. The client falsely believes that the key is still pressed and repeats without stopping until I press another key again. But does not happen the host FC. At first I thought that this behavior is due to wireless keyboard I happen to use, but after some thought it became obvious that it is a software issue. No idea why, however...
