The keyboard LED problem is in xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1.2 and higher (which shipped as a part of Xorg 7.3). Ubuntu 7.10 is a hybridization of X.org 7.2 and 7.3 according to this page: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/x11/
The upstream bug is here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12434
That appeared from your description to be what the question was about.
As for your problem toggling the NUMLOCK key in software to OFF by default, this is Gnome bug. Open configuration editor and go to this path to fix it:
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-hostname-desktop/0/numlock_on
Thanks you! That's it. interestingly this problem does not happen on the Fedora Core 7 (Xorg 7.3) on the same KVM.
