I think Paul's suggestion was correct, I implemented a similar system  
for scrolling a map and it works great with multiple combinations of  
key ups and downs (it's a pyglet app though, so it probably doesn't  
help you much).

If you have a version that manages x and y speeds by keyup/keydown  
that doesn't work, maybe you should post it here for folks to look over?
