Comment(by kop):

 I have not seen the problem occur outside the diagnostic program.
 Although, as I say, I've not used the machine much so it's possible that
 it does.  The terminal activity does not appear to have keys that auto-
 repeat, so I don't know I'd notice a stuck key there.

 The XO is pretty much "out of the box" new.

 My guess is that it's a problem in the diagnostic program. (Which would
 make me suspect the problem might also occur elsewhere.  It "feels" as if
 it were some some race condition the the debouncing or some other
 software/timing related issue, but that's founded on complete and utter
 ignorance.)  I have not played with the problem much.  I've only gotten it
 to 'stick' keys 5 or 6 times.  I don't recall having noticed any tactile
 differences in the physical mechanism when either "sticking" or
 "unsticking" keys.  I tried feeling for something different when
 "unsticking" once and noticed nothing.
