Nikolay,

First, background: I am not a xorg developer, but I develop the XKB
library used by most Wayland compositors (xkbcommon). The behavior there
is the same.

IMO it is worth having a discussion about the behavior. A nice thing
about XKB is that it has a specification. It is easier to discuss
behavioral changes against a spec than hard-to-understand X code, or 150
comments bugs. Therefore, my proposal for you (or anyone else who is
interested in changing the behavior) is to provide a patch against the
spec. Even if the actual spec will never change, I still think that a
clear proposal, which also considers possible side effects, is the first
step forward here.

The current spec and the most relevant section is here:
https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Key_Actions

The current source for the above spec is in the kbproto repository here:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/kbproto/tree/specs/ch06.xml?id=kbproto-1.0.7#n586
