Yes I still have this issue, after all this time.
However I switched to another distribution (Arch Linux 64bit).  I re-used my 
xorg.conf and I'm having the same issues.  The keyboard is broken in the same 
way (only in xorg), although I don't get the popup errors (but that's probably 
an ubuntu feature.  I switched to Xfcee too btw)

So it looks like an xorg (configuration) issue, independent of the distribution.
My xorg-server is now (on Arch) 1.4.2, xorg-xkb-utils & xorg-utils 7.3.

Right now I'm playing with the kbd xorg keyboard driver and trying out (our 
leaving out) various options (XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbOptions etc).  What I 
notice is that sometimes when I started X and Xfce is loaded, the keyoard on 
the laptop works just fine, but a while later the layout is f*** again (maybe 
because I've typed on the usb keyboard in the meanwhile?).
This happens with these settings:
<code>
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver          "kbd"
    Option         "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option         "XkbModel"      "macbook79"
# Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option         "XkbLayout" "be"
    Option         "XkbVariant" "dvorak"
# Option         "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection
</code>
