I did some additional digging here. As it turns out, the key repeat is
not a result of the remapping. Under Linux (without the mapping), as
well as Windows, hitting the END key at the same time as the E key
results in a key repeat.

As reported on the Arch Linux forums, this issue first appeared in BIOS
version 1.09. All versions from 1.09 forward exhibit this behavior. As
the issue is not a result of the mapping, and is present under other
operating systems, I believe the issue needs attention from Lenovo.

Does anyone know how to engage someone from the Lenovo team who may be
able to look into this BIOS issue?

Thanks,
