i suspect it *is* a feature of windows. in (modern versions of) windows,
keyboard settings are window-dependent. that is, you can have setting X for
one window, and setting Y for another.

check the internationalisation settings in windows, and see if a specific
key combo is set for switching keyboard layouts. my bet is there is, and i
suspect you're accidentally typing it. the default key combo is left
alt+left shift key, a combo that you may sometimes need for Emacs to type
e.g. M-< or M->.
