True.

The problem is that there is also a feature of the X server that it
maintains up/down state for certain keys because it is so common to
check for chords with those keys.  Specifically, the modifier keys.
As Andreas points out, your keycode 66 is in the list of modifiers as
BOTH a shiftlock key and a control key.  You need to fix the modifier
list, not the keysym definition, of the key corresponding to 66.
