I made the patch/fix (whatever one may call it) that changed this
behaviour because the same code broke handling of the function
keys: on some setups, F11 and Shift-F1 both generate the key
symbol "F11".  Now consider you treat S = shift-s = s and thus
F11 = shift-F1 = F1.  It's not possible to distinguish between
both.  The old code bound the same action to the F11 key and the
F1 key and thus removed any previous binding on the F1 key.  The
fix was to imply the Shift modifier in this situation - and that
is responsible for your problem.  I can well imagine there are
quite a few configs out there that rely on upper case letters, but
I don't know what to do about it without breaking function key
again.
