Comment (by siarzhuk):

 The origin of problem is Keymap Switcher. It is reproduced in the
 following situation: on the first workspace I have opened window with
 active Russian keymap. On the second workspace the Terminal window with
 German (default) keymap. When switching ws1 <-> ws2 the keymap switcher
 reloads the current keymap because of change the active window keymap.
 Looks like this is the place where B_MODIFIERS_CHANGED is eaten. But your
 patch workarounds this behaviour.

 Just for information: on non-patched system visual effect of this lock is
 blue-highlighted path in the Terminal window under the mouse pointer. On
 the patched system the same highlighting effect is still observed, but
 after any key was hit it goes away.
