[BRLTTY] Alva BC640 perkins input

>And I have a little more detail about the behavior.  The alva will still generate keyboard input after BrlTTY is started, but it stops generating them as soon as I take control of the device through BrlAPI.  After this, the keyboard events are not captured by BrlTTY, and if I give focus to another application and try to type some characters, the characters no longer appear.

This is an important piece of information. I believe it probably has to do with 
your BrlAPI application not ignoring the keyboard key ranges so that they'll 
pass through to brltty and be handled as expected. Can you confirm that 
keyboard resonse comes back when you release BrlAPI control.
