OK, here is the dmesg output - I've cut out things not releating to the keyboard.  This shows a boot followed by presses of - 'Henkaku/Zenkaku', '???', 'space', '???', and 'Hiragana/Romaji':

Right, this one is interesting - same keypresses as above, and this time the keys work, (excellent :-) ), Henkaku/Zenkaku is mapped to backtick, (as expected, as I am using a Russian keymap), and the other extra keys are not mapped to anything, (again, as to be expected).

Interestingly, I wasn't able to reproduce the bashing multiple keys error, using i8042_direct or atkbd_set=3.
