I remembered I actually did have a qualifying code, redeemed it on the website, and got an e-mail with a Steam key in it. It wasn't used.
Of course, anyone with access to the leak could have done the same (since it contained both game keys and AMD keys), but the game is still on my account. Haven't played it yet, though, and probably never will.

Check your account
Instead of DiRT 3 Promo, this time it should be
DiRT 3 RETAIL
Right?

Game still in my library
Waiting for it to be removed or not

I think more were leaked after the 'big' initial leak. My friend sent me a link with 3000 keys that had been posted two days ago (7th October). Don't know if they were keys from the previous leak or new ones (although I'm pretty sure they were new), but for now I wouldn't activate any DiRT3 keys you find online. So far they've only removed the game from accounts that activated a copy, but you never know if they'll start taking other action...

this. also, my (probably) leaked copy is still sitting in my library since a week.

for some reason I doubt that they keep the codes that were leaked available for purchase

You're overreacting. They won't ban you because those keys were already paid for by AMD. Lots of people have activated them and all that happened was they got the game removed from their accounts. Some people still have it.
By what you say in your edits, you should leave this site unless you expect to get a proof of buying for every game you'll win here. And let me tell you, that's not going to happen.

I got a dirt 3 code in trade a couple of weeks ago. 'Then' I found out about the leak, after becoming paranoid, I opened a ticket with steam support. After a couple of days, my ticket was closed and I still have my game. They never said anything, but I presume all the leaked keys were invalidated. Don't worry too much, you're probably fine.

Remember those leaked DiRT 3 codes? Well, did they all get removed from Steam? My friend just gave me code and I thought to myself that "all codes were used already anyway and they got removed from Steam", but that code worked. Now I don't know if I should tell Support to remove it from my account or keep it.
EDIT: I sent message to Support. By the rules, they can ban you for using a key with no proof of buying. And since I pressed the "I agree" button before activating the code, I feel like I need to send them a message, which probably means they will remove my game.
Also, its Dirt 3 Retail.
ANOTHER EDIT: If you don't tell them about it, the game will maybe stay in your library, but what will happen when someone gets a game with proof of buying and a code that was used on your account. You will get banned or maybe that user will be able to claim your account.
