Right, I kinda have this sorted out.. for me anyhow..

Believe it or not in the log file for my Xorg has the following..

(II) config/hal: Adding input device CNF7129
(**) CNF7129: always reports core events
(**) CNF7129: Device: "/dev/input/event8"
(II) CNF7129: Found keys
(II) CNF7129: Configuring as keyboard

Problem here is the CNF7129 is the inbuilt USB camera.
By disabling it in the bios or doing a 

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera

It's "unplugged" and the VT switching works without loosing the
keyboard.

Just do a

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera

to reenable the camera. At our school here we use eee-control to allow
the camera to be user-controlled.

Now I just need to work out how to re-train hal so it knows it's NOT a
keyboard...
