Comment(by frankprindle):

 I believe seeing arbitrary keys stick in the diagnostic is just an anomaly
 of the diagnostic (but maybe not - a non-repeating key sticking wouldn't
 be all that obvious.)

 The real issue here is either the Alt or Ctrl keys coming on all by
 themselves when not even touched, and staying on for a while or until
 pressed and released. This causes all the rest of the keys to misbehave
 during text entry. When it is happening (mine hasn't been for over a day
 now), it shows up exactly that way in the diagnostic too. Curiously,
 nobody has reported the Shift or Fn keys doing this, only the Alt/Ctrl.
 Maybe that's a clue.
