On one of my frontends I see:

[1039808.777] (II) config/hal: Adding input device Media Center Ed. 
eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (0471:0815)
[1039808.777] (**) Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver 
(0471:0815): Ignoring device from InputClass "Ignore IR remote as keyboard"

So, yes, it is disabled.

Thanks for the pointer.
