As I see, pressing 2 causes the same visible and audible behaviour than
writing a wrong password and pressing enter.

I have a Hungarian keyboard. If I press Alt Gr+V (which is @), it
doesn't cause a restart. If I press Shift+2 (which is "), it does cause
a restart.

There are differences between the first login screen and the further ones:
- Key 2 causes immediate failure (restart) on the first screen, works normally 
on other screens.
- Key 2 on numeric keypad does not cause restart on the first screen, but the 
password will not be accepted regardless of the state of Num Lock. On other 
screens Num Lock + numpad 2 works like it should (password is accepted).
- On the first login screen key R switches on Scroll Lock and key W switches it 
off. Scroll Lock key does not work. Other login screens don't have this weird 
behaviour.

Removing plymouth package is a workaround. (But I would never find this
bug if it was filed as a plymouth bug.)

I have a clean install of lucid alpha 3 on AMD64. Removing proprietary
nvidia driver does not make a difference.
