So after I reset the keyboard configuration in the keyboard preferences I have not seen this bug in several days.
I am guessing that the vmware users (of which I am one) are also suffering the same bug as everyone else, we just happen to mention it because of the odd differences between the behaviour inside and outside of the vm.
(Also, there might be a correlation between people who use vmware, and people who upgraded to the hardy beta, who knows?)
