In thinking about this, there might be a few things I expect I'll want to know when I try this out tomorrow...

3. To test this, I quit RSIGuard (which was running in all spaces). I'm pleased to report that when I switched to a space where no applications were running, the problem disappeared. When I restarted RSIGuard (which runs on all spaces) the problem returned.
Is RSIGuard absolutely required, or can you get this to trigger if any application (try TextEdit) is running on the "other" space?
I can get it to happen with Preview and with Firefox (so I guess any application), but only if I have spaces configured to put that application on all spaces. If I only have the other application running in space 6, and I CTRL->arrow from space 5 where X11 is running to space 6 with the other app, and while still having the CTRL key held down from the first move arrow directly back to space 5 I do not see the problem. If I repeat that process with the other application running on all spaces, then I see the problem. So in summary all I have to do is have an application configured to run in all spaces, and have that application actually running, to see the problem.
4. If I do the keystrokes slowly as you have described, the problem does not occur. I start in the x windows spaces, then held CTRL, then hit arrow and held. Once in the new space I held both keys depressed for 2 seconds, and I noted the arrow (showing the transition I had just done) in the dock icon disappeared. Then I released CTRL, waited one second then released arrow. I repeated this sequence to get back to the original X11 space and I did not see the problem. I repeated this a few times to be sure.
Can you give me a sense of how quickly you tap and release the key sequence? Do you tend to quickly tap-release both keys? Do you tend to hold control and tap the number? Do you tend to release the control key before the number, or the other way around?
Typically I hold the CTRL key down, and "arrow around" with quick arrow presses until I reach the space I want, then I release the CTRL key. -Darren
