Oh, my bad (I didn't actually look at the bug, you could guess).

That's one of the accessibility features in X (there are GUIs to enable
it in both GNOME and KDE). The easiest is to change the key used by the
fake event in xine-ui.

Maybe another modifier would be better suited, and you could always
switch between the 2 modifiers, to avoid those kind of problems in the
future (Totem uses the left shift as well, and nobody ever reported this
bug...)
