Entering password at GELI prompt using USB keyboard

I reverted to GEOM from 9.0 (with the rest of the kernel from 10.0) and the problem persists. However after pressing a lot of keys, there indeed was some response from GELI telling my 'wrong passphrase'. 

Intermittently, but not from the beginning, I saw a lot of ukbd polling messages. Due to a previous error I have set the polling rate to hw.usb.ukbd.pollrate=100. Changing this has no effect whatsoever.

The first ten or so seconds, GELI doesn't respond at all. Then, for no apparent reason, a polling loop commences that somehow sparsely passes through individual key presses.

The problem seems therefore not to be in GEOM and not in ukbd but rather in the interplay of both (via syscons?). Have there been any significant changes from 9.0 to >= 9.1?

off-topic: Please excuse this terrible webmail stuff, I cannot even respond to the proper message. Going to change my provider soon :/
