I have this exact issue.  It has only cropped up since I installed
Ubuntu Fesity 64 bit to test out 64 bit (gnome 2.16 -> 2.18 as well)

It happens to me about 2x a month and I have been unable to isolate it
to closing an app or a particular app, but the end result is exactly as
explained - hard power cycle is always needed to get the keyboard back
while the mouse still works fine.
