Finally I got a chance to test this on a GPM-capable console
(there was a problem that the <Ctrl> key on my keyboard is broken
that is not a problem on X where it's remapped to <CapsLock>,
but on the console only the <Meta> key has an alternative <ESC>,
not <Ctrl>, and using such replacements as 'ESC x next-line RET'
is too cumbersome, ISTR there was some support for key remapping,
and I used it long ago on console, but already forgot all details,
so I had to find a keyboard with a functional <Ctrl> key.)

Anyway, here is the tested patch that indeed needed to reset up_modifier.
Sorry for the delay.
