A long time ago I spoke with Scott Raney about this, and he said that
different OSes may send different sequences of downs and ups (he's just
reporting them as they come in from the event manager in the OS)... the only
thing he could guarantee was that there was always going to be an equal
number of downs to ups (i.e. none would get lost).

I know this doesn't help, but it does explain why different OSes behave
differently in this case.
