It seems this problem symptom is not all that uncommon, but has varying causes.  I've seen other reports that were solved by things I already had correct.

One of the side effects of the changeover to a kernel based access is 
that the driver has changed to devinput.

Your lircd.conf should look like the one in 
/usr/share/lirc-remotes/devinput/

And then your lircrc file needs to be adjusted to use the new 'KEY_XX'
entry.

Remember that in effect the lircd.conf and lircrc files are a stacked 
pair of case switches. For the entry in the right column of lircd.conf, 
push the corresponding 'KEY_XX' into the data stream. Lircd then sees 
this keycode, and depending on the program, sends the correct user key 
to the program. So a (hardware derived) '208' becomes a 
'KEY_FASTFORWARD' which is parsed and a 'Z' is sent to Myth (if that's 
what your mapping is).
