The solution above failed to hold. After reboot it stopped working again.
What does work is as follows:
get rid of Lirc. Remove it from the default services.
install ir-keytables (apt-get install ir-keytables)
copy the appropriate keytable to /etc/rc_keytables
modify the keytable as you need - it creates keyboard events, so you can tailor your remote to the keys expected by xbmc.
add the command "ir-keytable -c -w /etc/rc_keytables/<your keytable>

And that's it. It is simple, it survives reboots. It doe NOT require changing the lirc keyboard.xml

AND, it is faster - looks like the reduced translation chain makes the pi respond to the remote keys faster. This however is my subjective, unmeasured feeling.

You misunderstood what I was saying. Specific case meaning most USB adapters do work with lirc, the linked ir-keytable method should be included in XBian because some adapters don't work well with lirc.

I wasn't disregarding your information.
