 Replying to [comment:61 frankprindle]:

 > Thus, I conclude that, while the diagnostic is fine for showing what IS
 sticking, it is useless for showing what IS NOT sticking - i.e. it shows
 keys sticking when in fact (when running with the linux driver) they do
 not. The subject of another (much less critical) ticket I'll submit once
 all this gets squared away.

 Or reopen #5772 "keyboard keys reported stuck in self-test".  How critical
 it is depends on whether the keys are reported stuck only in the
 diagnostic or if they "stick" whenever press and release is rapid.  It's
 probably a software problem, but if the problem is activity independent
 then IMO investigating the cause should not be low priority because (I
 imagine, but am not well informed) there could be subtle software/hardware
 interactions, say in the embedded keyboard controller, that may reveal a
 underlying hardware issue.
