I've had this issue for a while too. Indeed, pressing shift-numlock enables/disables the feature. I don't intentionally press that, and the only time I hit numlock is when the pad is not in number-mode.

I do however use NXclient continuously -- not VNC, but a different kind of terminal server client.

And, interestingly enough: when I have the mousekeys enabled on my desktop and disabled in the terminal-client, I get both behaviours: a moving mouse and key input. (And the keyboard numlock light can get out of sync with the terminal-client, but that could very well be an unrelated issue.)

At least the shift-numlock shortcut is good to know. That shall save me some time.
