Check the result from the VT where you set it with "xset -q" - looks good?
Now switch the VT back to the desired X server and re-check "xset -q" - looks bad now?

No idea whether it works, but i'd try
Option "AutoRepeat" "200 60" in some MatchIsKeyboard "on" config snippet in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

I'm not sure whether the resetting behavior counts for a bug or is intended (since the same will happen if you re-plug the keyboard)

Cheers,
