I've uploaded the patch that fixes the usage of kbd_mode -u in console-
cyrillic, see bug 520546
But the fact that kbd_mode breaks keyboard in X session, looks like a
bug in kbd to me:
Run
kbd_mode -u -C /dev/console
and from now on pressing ALT+F2 will bring you to the text console
(VT-4).
--
To reproduce the bug simply run
kbd_mode -u < /dev/console
you can run it even from a Gnome Terminal and see the effect (the bug)
instantly.

Titl
A small investigation into console-cyrillic revealed that it is no more
than a bunch of key mapping definitions and a perl script executing
binaries from other packages, namely console-tools or kbd, On my
computer console-tools are not installed, so executables from kbd are
run.
The culprit is
kb
Console-cyrillic calls "kbd_mode -u". This command alone produces the
bug.

Related bug: bug 463762
affects:ubuntu → console-cyrillic (Ubuntu)
The problem is apparently with console-cyrillic package. If console cyrillic is
not started at boot time, the bug does not appear.
However, the Cyrillic support is not enabled on the text console in this case!
