I honestly cannot say whether it is a bug in the w32 code, or the
consequence of the complexity of input decoding (with
keyboard-translate-table, translation-table-for-input,
function-key-map, key-translation-map, coding systems and whatnot).

In any case:

;; Kubuntu 6.10
read-char / read-event => 2234
(aref translation-table-for-input 2234) => 2234
(lookup-key key-translation-map [186]) => nil

;; Windows XP SP2
read-char / read-event => 186
(aref translation-table-for-input 2234) => nil
(lookup-key key-translation-map [186]) => encoded-kb-self-insert-ccl
