I'm able to use X resources to have xterm treat Shift-cursor the same
as (application) cursor keys.  I also discovered that xev is showing
a Shift_L keydown before hitting the affected keys.  I haven't tried
turning caps lock off with xkb yet.

Is there a tool lower-level than xev which shows what XF86 is getting
from Windows?
