The short story is: Tom's keyboard sends all that when he presses caps
lock:

press: 0x3a 0xe0 0x66
repeat: 0x3a
release: 0xba 0xe0 0xe6

0xe0 0x66 happens to be the "favorites" key on his keyboard with
internet navigation keys.  I thus believe there's a bug in his keyboard
that needs to be filtered at the kernel level.

The long story can be read on

Hmm, the question is whether the real "favorites" key send the same
usage and the fake one after caps lock. Any chance Tom could locate
evtest utility and see what MSC_SCAN events being emitted?

Sure. Here's caps-lock:

Event: time 1288013671.633008, -------------- Report Sync ------------
Event: time 1288013674.171812, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 70039
Event: time 1288013674.171853, type 1 (Key), code 58 (CapsLock), value 1
Event: time 1288013674.171862, -------------- Report Sync ------------
Event: time 1288013674.172210, type 17 (LED), code 1 (CapsLock), value 1
Event: time 1288013674.299553, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 70039

Event: time 1288013674.299593, -------------- Report Sync ------------


Right-shift (the other problem key):

Event: time 1288013798.388025, -------------- Report Sync ------------
Event: time 1288013800.742088, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 700e5

Event: time 1288013800.742142, -------------- Report Sync ------------
Event: time 1288013800.861777, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 700e5
Event: time 1288013800.861812, type 1 (Key), code 54 (RightShift), value 0
Event: time 1288013800.861824, -------------- Report Sync ------------

Could you also post results when pressing the "favorite" and the "prev"
internet keys of your keyboard?

Actually, if these are all the events that evtest reports when pressing
CapsLock then I am confused where the "favorites" ghost press is coming
from... They are not emitted by the device. Do you have a funky keymap
loaded somewhere? Also, was 'showkey -s' issued while in X or in the
text console?
