I can only say that I had been having the same problem on FC5, and even
earlier on FC4 I think. But since I switched to using an X-Arcade
controller connected as a keyboard through PS/2, I totally forgot about
the issue ;-)

I guess that you can start by reproducing the problem on the current FC
development to confirm that it's still there, then take the same steps
as in that bug report to try and narrow it down again if it is.
