It is the behaviour in the Linux console which is non-standard[1], you
can change it to ignore the Shift key. Here's the relevant paragraph
from keymaps(5):
Each keysym may be prefixed by a '+' (plus sign), in which
case this keysym is treated as a "letter" and therefore
affected by the "CapsLock" the same way as by "Shift" (to
be correct, the CapsLock inverts the Shift state). The
ASCII letters ('a'-'z' and 'A'-'Z') are made CapsLock'able
by default. If Shift+CapsLock should not produce a lower
case symbol, put lines like
keycode 30 = +a A
in the map file.
I guess you can argue it is a bug in XFree86 if you disable Xkb and
there still is an inconsistency (there probably is). Not sure too
many are interested in maintaining the non-Xkb code, though.
