I don't see anything wrong with hal per se.  After the ukbd0 device is
removed, hald continues to report that ukbd1 is available, and is an X11
kbd device.  I strongly suspect this is an X issue.  When you say that
you only see this in GNOME, do you mean you've tried other DE/WMs, and
you do not see the problem there?  What messages do you see in your X
log when you unplug the keyboard?  What happens if you disable hal, and
configure input devices statically for X?
