In my case, the caps-lock key also stops working, which I have mapped via xmodmap to Mod3. It happens reliably when I do ctrl-alt-enter to enter fullscreen mode, and then ctrl-alt to get back out to the host OS; it doesn't appear to happen if I don't enter fullscreen mode (even if I use ctrl-alt to take focus away from the guest).
