On further inspection, standard Mode_Switch also seems to 
set the state mask 0x2000, but it is typically non-locking,
so there's no problem. We certainly should not ignore 
a non-locking Mode_Switch bit (typically AltGr in non-braindead
xmodmap user-customisable keymaps). Perhaps the only solution
is configurability of locking mods. (Or does Xkb offer that
info? In any case I CBA.)
