Yes. It's the very same thing. For where XKB is available and supports
detectable autorepeat (certainly at least any PC that runs XFree86), you
could now close the bug.

But I do like your idea at the bottom. Maybe it could be used if
detectable autorepeat isn't available? But I don't know whether it'd work
either (probably not reliably) - but there at least aren't "nasty key
mapping issues", since the keycode is still known when the KEYEVENTF_KEYUP
is set. (To find out how to query X, just look at KEYBOARD_UpdateState(),
which does that to read out whether shift/ctrl/alt keys are pressed...)
