(Get the code!)
I've been having this problem too on 7.10. If there is a short-cut key to turn this on and off, it should be documented and have the option to disable it.
In "Keyboard Accessibility Preferences", I have the "Enable keyboard accessibility preferences" unchecked. The "Enable Mouse Keys" checkbox is usually unchecked and inactive. However, whenever mouse keys turns itself on, the "Enable Mouse Keys" checkbox becomes checked and inactive even though the "Enable keyboard accessibility preferences" checkbox remains unchecked.
Apparently, mouse keys does not respect the state of the "Enable keyboard accessibility preferences" checkbox. It will become enabled even though I've in spite of my preferences.
To disable mouse keys I have to check "Enable keyboard accessibility preferences" (to make "Enable Mouse Keys" active) , uncheck "Enable Mouse Keys" and then uncheck "Enable keyboard accessibility preferences".
Too many steps to disable a feature that shouldn't be enabled in the first place.
