SysRq annoyance

Took a look at that annoying beeping that you get after a sysrq and it
turns out that if you release alt before printscreen, alt gets "stuck"
down. To try this out hit +alt +ps -alt -ps. Now you can just hit the
right arrow to switch to the next console and everything is back to
normal. Is this a bug in the keyboard handling code or a hardware quirk
of the sysrq key? Any keyboard gurus out there know whats going on?
