Bug is actually in the kernel.
acpi-support is a collection of scripts, acpi-fakekey works in 2.6.22
I also ran Xorg7.4/1.3 on 2.6.22, fakekey still works.
It's only when changing to 2.6.24 does it break. I don't think the problem is X ignoring the event, but the kernel actually dropping the fake input. Looking at the source, there aren't any X components linked in.
