I can throw your patch in over here for the heck of it.
If there's somebody who's really hitting this bug
then the results would be better if this is the area that causing
this bug.(from here the only issue I'm seeing is spinning
history commands in the terminal from time to time,
nothing of any unusable keys like others are reporting).

That sounds more like a lost key-up event somewhere higher up the stack.
USB keyboard ? and does it stop if you take the key in question. Also does
it stop if you touch the mouse wheel (assuming you've got mousewheel
bound to shell history somewhere ?)

This seems like it's a new mechanism with
fedora/ubuntu, but could be wrong.
(smart keys or something)

It is a usb keyboard using evdev/keyboard
as the X modules to operate.(imac9,1)
The way I've been able to get this to stop is
open another terminal, then when the history starts
spinning like it does click on the other terminal,
and everything seems to stop.
As for reproducing this thing seems to have a mind of it's own, some timers
firing off to tell it to start searching for the last good word for the "user",
(but could be wrong)that ends up being something completely wrong,
although a couple of times it did actually work and go right to the word I had in mind,
but most of the time this things just causes irritation.
