Interesting. Off the top of my head I very puzzled.
I heavily tested keyboard code in the 0.97 development period, and as
far as I can tell it worked exactly like the real hardware, and bios.
There is some minor hardware discrepencies but that would lock your
keyboard not refuse to function.
There is also one software discrepency but that is only used if
an application changes the scancodes before they are
put into the keyboard buffer (the translate won't change, in dosemu
as it would normal dos). Again this doesn't sound like what you are
describing.

If you had a description of what that does perhaps I could get

I can't tell you but I have heard there are.
