ּsorry, my bad - I was mistaken. Apparently the problem has something to do with GNOME's new layout switching handling. If I set "Modifiers-only switch to next source" to "Disabled" in the keyboard shortcut editor, then run

setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle

Everything works fine with the patch.

So, we actually have two problems now, with layout switching kicking on on release - both the broken XKB protocol and the broken GNOME handling of "modifier-only" layout switching.
