Seems as if the ACPI events are buffered?
I had a very similar bug report:
________________________________________
The ACPI events, which are triggered by keyboard (via Fn key, eg. to switch
WiFi card on/off) are somehow buffered in the kernel. I have to push the key
combination 8 times until acpi_listen (or cat /proc/acpi/event) gets the first
event, then, if I push other combinations, I get the events from the "buffer".

EC burst mode did solve this problem on that machine.
