Setting this to confirmed since the remote definition  differs from the
sort-of-upstream lirc-remotes.

Basically this is a Kodi bug since Kodi (as the only major client) does
not respect the mappings done by lircrc but instead reads the raw codes
from lircd. One of the purposes of lircrc is to handle problems like
this, and so it does - when used.

Since re-mapping this key according to the patch  would break
configurations for other users which have handled this using .lircrc I'd
recommend closing this bug as wontfix.

Someone should file a bug against Kodi for bad behaviour. It's too late
to skip the raw reads from lircd, but adding an option to use lircrc is
IMHO the right path.  Kodi does some mapping, but lircrc is more than
mappings: modes, repeat suppression, long keypresses and so on.
