I've discovered that the addition of the Canadian Multilingual keyboard (ca-multix) specifically triggers the bug behaviour.  I.E. If I add it in the properties dialog for xfce's Keyboard Settings applet, I will subsequently be
unable to do ``xmodmap -e 'clear Lock'`.  Removing the Canadian Multilingual keyboard as one of the keyboard options will cause that xmodmap command to work again.

The problem does not occur (i.e. xmodmap works correctly) if I instead
add the keyboard Canada -> "Multilingual (first part)" (ca-multi).  So
this may prove to be a good workaround for myself and perhaps others,
and may provide a useful clue to people who can track down this bug.

Also: this issue is `rumoured`_ to be related or identical to
