Well, the driver has connected to the firmware, and should be working.  And
there were no changes to the code from v3.0 to v3.1.1.  So, it is either a
bug in something else, a problematic interaction of the driver with
something else, or a latent thinkpad-acpi bug that some change elsewhere has
exposed.

Are the events reported by acpi_listen from arch-linux exactly the same in
v3.0.9 and v3.1.1 ?  I know some events are missing in your v3.1.1, but I am
interested in the ones that do get reported.

Although you really should be using the input device for the hotkeys, and
not any of the 0x10xx events.  Those are driver-specific and deprecated, it
is all explained in Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt.  So, it really
might mean that you have something in userspace reading that input device
and synthesizing the ACPI HKEY events thinkpad-acpi deprecated for a long
time now.  I know some distros did that instead of switching to an
input-device-based hotkey daemon.  Please check for that possibility,
that daemon could be the one having problems with 3.1.1...
