Hello.

When using e.g. ruwin_ct_sh-UTF-8 keymap (in pure console, no X involved ;) ) Caps Lock doesn't work for Cyrilic letters. Shift key does work for them, though.

Looks like Cyrillic letters are not interpreted as such because they are defined in the following way:

altgr keycode 16 = U+0439
altgr shift keycode 16 = U+0419

But probably (judging by keymaps man page) they should be defined like this:

altgr keycode 16 = +U+0439
altgr shift keycode 16 = +U+0419

This looks like a regression during Unicode conversion and affects all Unicode keymaps.

Would be nice to have this sorted out.

I think you're right.
