Comment(by GeroZ):

 Now I'm sure it's something about temperature or humidity.

 I haven't booted up my G1G1 XO in a long time - like a ~5 months. But I
 clearly remember: after my first "keyboard maintenance" ie. disassembly
 when everything seemed to work fine, left Alt started to act strange
 again.

 At that time it was cold outside. OK, my office is heated :) , however,
 now it's summer. I just booted it up, stopped it at the OpenFirmware
 prompt and type "test keyboard".

 Guess what: Nothing - no sticky keys. Behaves as if nothing ever happened.
 Strange!
