Thank for quick answering.

I think you're right as the problem may be on bluez package.
I have this keyboard since the first LTS release (6.06 Dapper Drake). I jumped each time on LTSs.
Unfortunately, I didn't have this motherboard when having Lucid Lynx (10.04), but it was bluez 4.60 indeed.

I can download Lucid live-cd and try to see if the dead keys are out
too, the result could be an important information to know what package
is causing trouble.

I'll try that and will inform you as soon as I made the test.

Title:
  045e:009c [H87-PRO] Microsoft Keyboard Elite for Bluetooth dead keys
  problem

Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In Precise with 4.60 version of bluez I can pair my keyboard and mouse
  perfectly.

  === The problem is that dead keys of my keyboard (I mean -L or R-
  CTRL, ALT, SUPER, -L or R- SHIFT, ALT-GR) doesn't work with my current
  motherboard (whether application I opened, console included). It does
  work correctly with other motherboards. The new motherboard is an 1150
  Haswell one from Asus.

  What I can say is :
  1/ When booting, my BIOS recognize perfectly the dead keys of my keyboard, meaning that the bluetooth dongle or the motherboard is not directly concerned.
  2/ When doing a second installation of Ubuntu, same problem.
  3/ When trying the option 'keyboard layout' (whatever layout I choose), I don't see those dead keys flashing, meaning the system doesn't react at all when pressing them.
  4/ By chance, I found another keyboard (same model, same brand), same problem, meaning the keyboard is not concerned (it works on the older motherboard, then it was poor chance that the keyboard broked just before reinstalling).
  5/ Tried the setxkbmap command (with sudo or without), nothing's better
  6/ Tried the xmodmap command, I see the 0x codes for Left SHIFT, all dead keys are there (see attachment)
  7/ Normal keyboard (no wireless) works perfectly
  8/ Put the dongle on an other usb slot doesn't change anything
  9/ Command xev doesn't makes changes when pressing dead keys.

  For me it's clearly a Ubuntu's system bug, with my motherboard (Asus
  H87-PRO socket 1150).
