Because of a bug in Firefox that fires a keypress event for such a key
(well, not really a bug if you consider there's no spec for those
events, but I believe that's how it should work, just as in IE and
Safari, just as the textInput event from DOM 3 Events)

Because you're actually not supposed to use the "keyCode" in a
"keypress" event (just because you pressed *two* keys for the one
character you wanted).
See http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3753
It is acknowledged that GWT keyboard events are buggy ("not ideal" at
best) and that they need some work. Just that no-one actually spent
time on them for now (hmm, maybe I'll try making a patch if I find
some time...)
