You've asked about this just in time! We're planning on releasing 5.3 this 
week, but let's try to fix this problem first. It's actually a problem I've 
been waiting to resolve, where waiting means waiting for a helpful user with a 
Braille Sense qwerty. I guess that's you. :-)

What I'd like you to do is to capture a debug log while you're pressing those 
keys so that we can see what the device is sending. To capture the debug log, 
please add two options to your invocation of brltty. One is -L (uppercase) to 
specify the location of the log file that'll be written, and the other is -l 
(lowercase) to specify what should be logged. In this case, we'd like to log 
input packets sent from the device and braille device key events. So, those two 
options would be:

   -L/path/to/logfile
   -linpkts,brlkeys

If those aren't enough log categories then I'll let you know what other ones to 
add. Please press the keys (or key combinations), one at a time, in a known 
order. Then, along with the debug log, let us know exactly which order you 
pressed them in.
