I've confirmed on Jane's X60s that the mute key correctly generates exactly one
ACPI event:

 acpid: received event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001017"
 acpid: rule from 24760[0:0] matched
 acpid: notifying client 24760[0:0]
 acpid: rule from 5696[107:114] matched
 acpid: notifying client 5696[107:114]
 acpid: rule from /etc/acpi/events/thinkpad-mute matched
 acpid: executing action "/etc/acpi/always-mute.sh"
 BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES
 END HANDLER MESSAGES
 acpid: action exited with status 0
 acpid: 3 total rules matched
 acpid: completed event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001017"

always-mute.sh does:

acpi_fakekey $KEY_VOLUMEUP
acpi_fakekey $KEY_MUTE

I also checked her keyboard shortcuts, and Lock Screen is set to the default
of Ctrl+Alt+L.

I don't know what's triggering the lock screen event.
