While trying to figure this problem out (which I have experienced for 
months), I seem to have fixed it. Don't know exactly what I did, but the 
most likely suspect is this:

1. Start ThinkPad Keyboard Customizer Utility
2. Options...
3. Check Disable Keyboard Customizer
4. OK
5. Close
6. Start ThinkPad Keyboard Customizer Utility
7. Options...
8. Uncheck Disable Keyboard Customizer
9. OK
10. Close

I am asking what is causing the pop-up for future reference here:

Since the problem now seems to be fixed, it seems you can mark this bug 
invalid. Sorry about the inconvenience.
