I could reproduce it with both 231-1 and 231-2. I suspect you started seeing it when you upgraded from 231-1 to 231-2, causing a daemon-reexec, and then Alt-Left went to the text console in addition to X, causing it to change VTs. I had a similar experience: hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del rebooted directly rather than opening a GNOME dialog, because it went to the console. - Josh Triplett
