(Get the code!)
Same problem for me on a Dell Latitude E6510 with Ubuntu 11.10 with VMware Workstation 7.1.5 installed. As a temporary solution I have created a very basic shell script to reset the repeat" (equivalent to going to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Untick and tick "Key presses repeat when key is held down"). Every time repeat stops working I execute the script.
Script:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
xset r off
xset r on
echo "Reset of keyboard repeat done!"
