Actually, this is what I see:
> setxkbmap -option caps:shift
[Press CapsLock, followed by 'aaaa' then Shift+'aaaa' and CapsLock again]
AAAAaaaa
> setxkbmap -option caps:shift_nocancel
[Press CapsLock, followed by 'aaaa' then Shift+'aaaa' and CapsLock again]
AAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAA

So if shift_nocancel has been set ever before, it will not return with
caps:shift

REASSIGNED IT TO? sheez...
