(BTW, > XkbDisable doesn't help the console problem you mention) I just installed the latest SRM (V7.2-1) for the Miata on my MX5. After a halt my keyboard now works just dandy, no 'scancode foo' messages anymore. This SRM is on FW cdrom V5.7. I'll also give the Miata GL a try. If this all works out like I hope I'll update HARDWARE.TXT as well.
