I've seen this too, and (prompted by der Mouse on port-sparc, IIRC),
changing KBD_DELAY from 'DELAY(8)' to 'DELAY(16)' in sys/dev/ic/pckbc.c
seems to solve the problem.

I wonder if something like the following could be done to allow ports to
tweak this:

#ifndef KBD_DELAY
#define	KBD_DELAY	DELAY(8)
#endif
