BTW, this is because w32-scroll-lock-modifier defaults to nil, which
means that the scroll-lock key is not a modifier (hyper, meta, etc.)
and it's passed to Emacs (you could assign an interactive function to
<scroll>). If you set w32-scroll-lock-modifier to t it will be passed
to Windows and it will work as expected.

And BTW(2), this does not happen in emacs -Q -nw.
