Well... the server says that auto repeat is on, so you must be wrong.
::Close bug, put fingers in ears, and say, "la la la"::

In all seriousness, I have no clue.  I am confused why your repeat  
mask does not match mine:

   auto repeat:  on    key click percent:  0    LED mask:  00000000
   auto repeat delay:  525    repeat rate:  11
   auto repeating keys:  00ffffffffffff7f
                         42ffffffffffffff
                         ffffffffffffffff
                         ffffffffffffffff

Do you have this file:
$ ls /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-modifier_repeat.sh
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-modifier_repeat.sh

It should be marked executable and thus run by /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/ 
xinitrc

Are you using a keyboard layout other than US English (try US  
English)?  Do you have "Follow System Keyboard Layout" enabled (try  
disabling it)?
