*shrug* My first choice would be to just map it to some other key,
but it's more because I think most users will be looking for "Switch
Source" whether they know it or not and may find Switch Input instead.
Then they will file bug reports demanding Switch Input be rewritten
to function like Switch Source (why is my DVB card showing up eight
times and crowding my other cards off the menu?!?!) But there are
other solutions to the problem. We could for instance move things
like Switch Input to a Developer sub-menu, or we could simply rename
it to something more opaque. For this one feature I don't care. But
since we have a goal of simplifying the UI, how we handle it
should probably fit within some greater plan.

This is a bug and almost certainly unrelated to the UI stuff.
I've created ticket #8941 for it. I'll try to replicate the
setup and reproduce this behavior.
