I'm guessing you're missing this:

echo lirc > /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols

i.e., keypresses are being decoded and delivered both by the kernel layer
and the lirc layer.

I'll just push the current updates-testing lirc package to stable, despite
it being 0.9.0-pre1, because I suck at getting a 0.9.0 release out the
door. Maybe I'll try to get that done tomorrow... (Because that package has
an addition to its initscript that does the in-kernel decode disable for
you automatically when you start lircd).
