I have found that by running synergyc only as a startup application (System->Preferences->Startup applications) without any changes to /etc/gdm/Init/Default or /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default mostly eliminates the problem for me. If synergyc is started in either of these configuration files (even if it kills the existing instance first) the shift problem is constant. Of course this means that the synergy shared keyboard is not available on the gdm login screen, so this workaround only works if there is a physically attached keyboard.
