Comment (by MatejHorvat):

 This happens on different computers with different keyboards. I attached a
 USB keyboard and it also types uppercase until left shift is pressed and
 released on the PS/2 keyboard (doing this on the USB keyboard does
 nothing).

 You're right, the keymap does make a difference. I'm using a slightly
 modified Slovene keymap where I swapped the unshifted apostrophe key
 (which is immediately to the right of 0) with a shifted 7 key (which makes
 a slash). Swapping the keys this way produces this bug, but doing it the
 other way doesn't.
