And I said "bug" on purpose because if you "fix" it then you'll have another group of users, who are used to the current behavior, reporting that layout switch is delayed[1] and thus they can't quickly switch layouts while typing fast.
In other words, I don't intend to work on this.
[1] the delay being that the switch would only happen when Shift is released instead of pressed.
This is not a new "bug". XKB layout group switching has always behaved like this. In particular RHEL 5 and 6 also behave like this.
