Looks like either the T61 firmware is specially broken, or something
broke thinkpad-acpi.  Which kernel?  Which firmware?

The driver resets the masks and everything else on resume, or at least
it is supposed to do that.  Maybe hotkey_resume() is not being called on
your kernel for some reason.  The relevant code is in:
drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad-acpi.c
