This just happened to me on feisty. The "You held down the shift key for 8 seconds, do you want to activate slow keys" dialog was on my screen, but hidden behind another window. The feature was activated, and when I deactivated it, everything was back to normal.
My machine was not under heavy IO of any kind. I was watching a responsive system monitor applet all the time.
I had not intentionally turned on "slow keys", and I was very confused as to why my keyboard was not working properly. I had spent 30 minutes trying to load and unload USB kernel modules, suspend and hibernate, put keyboard into raw mode and check it on a console etc.
The keyboard was working fine on a console. IMO, this is a pretty serious bug.
