This is the same problem I was seeing. Xorg assumes there is only one 
keyboard. When hald notifies xorg that some keyboard is detached, xorg 
unloads the keyboard driver. Even though xorg didn't open that 
particular device (normally kbdmux is the keyboard driver) You can see 
it in xorg.log

See this PR https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60069
If you disable hald in xorg.conf, you may experience another issue with 
disconnectable devices: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60070
