A very similar thing happens to me with the volume wheel. Using showkeys
in the console reports:

keycode 115 release
keycode 115 press
keycode 115 release
keycode 115 press
keycode 115 release
keycode 115 press
keycode 114 release
keycode 114 press
keycode 114 release
keycode 114 press
keycode 114 release
keycode 114 press

i.e., the wheel send release events *before* press events. The only
workaround is to switch to a VC and then back to X. Can anyone suggest a
way to disable the darn wheel before I open the laptop and get rid of
it?

X deals badly with keys that fail to send keyup events
