I think this is actually still an issue. On PCs the space bar + up + left arrow keys conflicts on some keyboards. Try it: open Notepad, press two arrow keys and then space. Most of them works but if you hold up and left, it will not make a space.

This is annoying in racing games, when you want to accelerate, turn left and use the hand brake at the same time.

I don't know the specifics, but there is such a thing as keyboard rollover. MOST KEYBOARDS—whoa, sorry. Most keyboards support up to 6 keys at once, but it might be that they're still divided into sections with lower rollover numbers, such as the arrow keys and space. Some "gaming" keyboards support up to 25 though, so your best bet if this bothers you is just upgrading to a spiffier typer.
