After debugging for far too many hours, I have an apparent hack/fix.

Simply setting another KEYBIT along with our KEY_ENTER seems to fix the issue. The other KEYBIT can be any value and it doesn't seem to matter if the other KEYBIT is set before or after KEY_ENTER. If another KEYBIT is not set, it appears that the kernel is not sending the KEY_ENTER event.

I don't recommend committing this until we figure out what the root cause is, but if anyone else experiencing the problem could test it and verify that it resolves their issue, that'd be great.h
