Just a guess, but this sounds more like a misbehaving KDE/Gnome 
"Sticky-keys" feature. Sometimes these features are automatically 
activated by a long-press on Ctrl. (Is it possible that maybe you got a 
package upgrade that took effect at the same time as the BIOS upgrade)

Anyway, xev is quite helpful for debugging, while xmodmap and xbindkeys 
can help with the mappings. I'm not necessarily sure you need to go as 
far as udev-rules for this.

HTH,
