The code in keyboard.c reads the set of active keymaps before reading
the next event.  That's most likely the explanation for this behavior.

It seems the relevant code is trying to do something clever in case of
low-memory situations, so we may bump into surprises, but other than
that, I can't think of any reason why it should be difficult.
