This bug has been fixed, for details see here:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1665#comment:6
And you can find updated builds in the usual location:
https://xpra.org/beta/
Sorry for the inconvenience.

For future reference, keyboard debugging is documented here:
https://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Keyboard
But I have to say that your bug report is one of the best I have seen.
