I'm unable to reproduce this on any version of Emacs I currently have 
installed (21.3, 22.3 or 22.0.92). The earlier report was using 20.7, so 
I would expect to see the bug in at least 21.3 if it was consistently 
reproducible.

Is there any other software running on your system that might affect 
keyboard handling in subtle ways?

In my case, this appears in view-lossage as:

l o w e r c a s e <return> U P P E R C A S E
