OS X bug?

Greetings, all.
I have discovered what may be a bug in OS X, or perhaps a bug in
HotKey, which I run as a result of my use of StickyBrain. However, I
have tried this without HotKey running, and the problem persists, so I
think it is a bug in OS X. I have searched Apple's KB and have not
found anything related to this problem.
The symptom is that the keyboard quits responding to all key sequences
except the 3-finger "Force Quit" salute. (Well, the "reboot" 3-finger
salute works too, of course.)
I have finally figured out how to reproduce the problem: use
command-tab to start changing apps, then shift-command-tab to go back
to the original application. Bam - keyboard lockout.
Would some of you mind trying this sequence to let me know if it locks
you out? And then try the Force Quit sequence (command-option-escape)
to see if that restores your keyboard?
Please specify whether you run StickyBrain or other hot-key software,
and your OS X version.
Thanks for helping me track this one down. I will be submitting a bug
to Apple once I define the problem's parameters.
