Sure it's a bug, but a bug of the OS. Setting w32-recognize-altgr to nil 
appears to avoid this bug for people who don't need AltGr at all.

The bug is that Windows does not have a separate modifier flag for 
AltGr, it uses Left-Ctrl + Right-Alt flags to indicate that AltGr is 
being pressed. So we can't tell that Left-Ctrl is pressed when AltGr is 
down.

If you can find a proper fix for this bug, we can probably get rid of 
w32-recognize-altgr.
