OK, here is an update: I added this

to lirc.c / remote.c and waited for the problem to occur.
A few minutes ago it did. I pressed Menu to bring up the main menu and
Down a few times to get to "recordings". The main menu came up but the
cursor did not move down. I pressed down many times for almost a minute.
No effect.
I waited a few seconds and the cursor skipped down all the way to the
last main menu entry.
My log shows that vdr has received my commands when I pressed them,
not all at once like it would seem from their effect on the screen.
This also exctly matches Dirk's description:
