I think I've found the solution for this problem (I've successfully fixed it on 
my laptop anyway).
Because of bug 207473 (or another one of the similar ones), I added "blacklist 
video" to a file in my /etc/modprobe.d/. I accidentally(?) removed it the other 
day and suddenly both showkey and X was getting Fn+* key release events (too 
many though, see bug 207473, but the same amount as the press events anyway).

When I add the blacklisting back, the problem reappears. I tried
switching back and forth a few times, only changing the blacklisting
between reboots, so this bug was (for me) _definitely_ caused by
"blacklist video".

(I think kreggz problem is a totally different one, because my laptop
doesn't care at all about the mouse regarding this problem. Also, he
installed intrepid directly, while I upgraded from hardy, where the
"blacklist video" fix was working just fine.)
