You are right absolutely.
The XLookupString() tries to make control code using keysym from current group
but if it fails this subroutine "activates temporary the first group" and
tries to make controlized code useing corresponded keysym from the first group.
This behavior can be changed by _XKB_CONTROL_FALLBACK environment variable.
(You guess it switched on by default.)

Of course, if you want such behavior.
