Indeed.  This doesn't just affect -CURRENT: it happened to me on
-STABLE last week, so I'm copying that list too.  See
http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-mar2020.php?topics=c&subtitle=Daily%20teevee%20update&article=D-20200306-002910#D-20200306-002910
, not the first entry on the subject.

Interesting.  Mine wandered from 117 to 147, with PageDown ("Next") as
collateral damage.  It seems that there are a lot of strange new key
bindings (partial output of xmodmap -pk):

    117         0xff56 (Next)   0x0000 (NoSymbol)       0xff56 (Next)
    130         0xff31 (Hangul) 0x0000 (NoSymbol)       0xff31 (Hangul)
    131         0xff34 (Hangul_Hanja)   0x0000 (NoSymbol)       0xff34 (Hangul_Hanja)
    135         0xff67 (Menu)   0x0000 (NoSymbol)       0xff67 (Menu)
    147         0x1008ff65 (XF86MenuKB) 0x0000 (NoSymbol)       0x1008ff65 (XF86MenuKB)

Some of these may reflect other remappings that I have done.

Sorry.  I should have thought of reporting it.  For me, with a number
of other issues, it was a frustrating week,some of which are still not
resolved.
