Using Jaunty.
Changing option in System->Preferences->Keyboard, layout tab, Layout options... button.
Setting the CapsLock option to "Caps lock toggles shift so all keys are affected", seems indeed to give the desired effect:
<A>a
<CapsLock>[LED -> On]
<A>A
<Shift> [LED -> Off , which seems to be a new correct behavious ]
<A>a
<CapsLock>[LED -> On]
<A>A
<Shift> [Led -> Off]
<A>a

In "Miscellaneous compatibility options", "Shift cancels CapsLock" is there, but changing back Capslock option to default, then "adding" "Shift cancels CapsLock" option. I seems to see no effect of pressing Shift key without an other key. I don't seem to see any effect in fact.
