Good hypothesis. I can confirm that this is not a KDE/GNOME issue as the
repeat happens in the terminal as well as in X.

Also, as reported on the Arch forums, the issue goes away when the BIOS
is downgraded to an earlier version.

The udev rules are required for the remap to work properly after suspend
and resume, as well as in the console. xmodmap and xbindkeys are great,
but they do not persist, and only map from within X. If you've worked
with the new X1 Carbon, you may understand how frustrating that is.

Thanks for your suggestions! I really do think it is a BIOS issue given
that the downgrade resolves the issue.
