Running your script, here is one example output I see for Shift A:

Unmodified <KeyRelease> with <%K> equal to <A> and <%A> equal to <A>
Unmodified <KeyRelease> with <%K> equal to <??> and <%A> equal to <{}>

This doesn't seem entirely consistent with what you are reporting: note 
that the A is captured there.

Regardless, this is an area I am unfamiliar with, including the use case 
for getting the key pressed with a modifier. If you want to investigate 
submitting a patch, the relevant code seems to be in tkMacOSXKeyboard.c.
