Can you please start everything as you would do normally and just kill
the process hald-addmoin-acpi-buttons-toshiba?  Then, you should see
FnFX getting all events, not just a few.

No.  It is just that the kernel interface is implementing the event
interface as such.  Thus, if you have more than one process using the
interface you will see that one process gets event A, the other process
event B and event C (just as an example).  It's racy, there should not
be more than one process at a time reading from the event interface of
the Toshiba ACPI driver.
