[bq <585564@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For me , the option "-keybd ephyr,,xkbmodel=evdev" was not enough.
Try this : 

1) see what are full options using command "setxkbmap -query"
 
$ setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      evdev
layout:     us

2) using this option for Xephyr:

-keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=us,xkbrules=evdev

and all is working now.
NOTE :  i am not using ssh connection, but starting a nested KDE session as another local user.
Full script:
--------
#!/bin/bash

sudo -u another_user date || exit 0

killall Xephyr

Xephyr -ac -screen 1420x820 -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=us,xkbrules=evdev :3 & 2 > /dev/null 
sleep 1

export DISPLAY=:3
sudo -u another_user -H bash -c "/usr/bin/dbus-launch  /usr/bin/startkde"
-------

BTW: the ctrl+shift to greb keys to Xephyr window does not work for me,
but ctrl+alt+shift does
