Apple has now released a keyboard firmware update for MacBooks and MacBook Pros, which it is hoped will address the issue where the first letter typed is being skipped. The firmware update can be found through the Software Update or by going to:

Fingers crossed... It might finally sort out this annoying issue, after many months of complaints (and hundreds of posts!) by users on Apple's Discussion forum...
