After some messing around, and kind help from Dimitry, the problem was 
that my locale was not set correctly. Setting the locale to en_US.UTF-8 
(with the dash, and in upper case) works with both wine and xev. Any 
other combination (utf8, UTF8, etc.) works with konsole, openoffice, 
kedit, and just about any other program I tested, but not with wine and 
xev. You live and you learn, obviously.

There is one thing that still bothers me. When using right-win for group 
toggle, I get a "`" printed when switching from group 0 to group 1, and 
";" when switching from group 1 to group 0. Otherwise, everything works 
fine. This does not happen when other combinations are used to switch 
modes (well, both shifts toggle used to drive wine simply mad, I don't 
know how things are today, but that also happened with some other 
applications).
