I'm playing the first rebellion mission within XvT Balance of Power and both times my keyboard input has completely frozen and I am unable to do anything. I cannot even get back in to Windows, the control won't return back to Windows.

I can fire lasers from joystick and steer (all joystick input is fine) but keyboard input is screwed.

I can do ctrl + alt + del but then when I try to access the menu to kill the process, the cursor won't move (both keyboard and mouse)

The only way to exit is to reboot my machine by the box.

Is this a known issue? Solution?

This is on Win 7 64 bit

Is it just the one mission in the campaign or also the other missions in the game (including outside the campaign)?
I know it's Freespace that is usually very picky with keyboards on newer systems for some reason but I never heard of XvT behaving like that.
I have windows 7 64 bit myself and the only problem I had was the real time protection of Windows Defender causing random crashes (solved by whitelisting the exe file and the whole game folder).

I have only played this BoP mission, twice, but I don't get the same behaviour for any of the XvT missions.

Not even the ones added by BoP?
Keep in mind that not only was added a campaign but also several single missions and melees.
Try whitelisting the .exe as a process and the whole folder in whatever antivirus you have.
