This is not my experience. I'm using 3.5.* everywhere and haven't had
this problem on any machine to date. numlock is off by default on all
machines as best I can tell.

/etc/init.d/numlock on/off will change the state of the lights on my
keyboard. Have you tried that? I didn't know that OpenRC had added
numlock control but it's there and documented in a Gentoo Wiki.

HTH,
