This looks exactly identical to me (on MS-Windows), except that the
second one causes annoying behavior of cursor motion around the
inserted text.

Does it work for you on GNU/Linux?  If so, does it work for you to
change quail-insert-kbd-layout to use this trick in order to separate
the `lower' from the `upper' in the key cells?  I tried that on my
machine, and it didn't have the desired effect.
