FWIW, that workaround works on my ELC.  I note that setting the dealy to
anything other than 660 (say 659 or 661) works correctly -- it's only 660
that fails.  I've not worked out why, yet.

Incidentally, I tracked down the problem with xdm beeping on every keypress. 
It turned out to be caused by the kbd(4) driver's having stopped filtering
out idle events from the keyboard.  Once I reinstated the idle-event
filtering, the beeps went away.  Since the bug actually seems to affect
someone other than me, I'll request a pull-up for 2.1.
