(Get the code!)
Unfortunately I'm just the X guy, I'm not really intimately knowledgeable about what's going on inside gnome-power-manager so can't give much advice here on out.
It sort of feels like something is stealing the keyboard/mouse devices away from X, and then the vt-switch remaps things back together possibly. I'm not at all certain what could do this. On a lot of hardware there are separate devices for the keyboard, mouse, and hotkeys; on others these are mixed together in weird ways. I could vaguely guess that some weird combination could lead to things getting stolen from X in unexpected ways, but that's just a vague guess. It would show up by running `xinput list` and analyzing how the hardware's inputs are mapped.
