That's a feature. That way, you can type C-f (say) even when
Caps-Lock is enabled, and it will do what you think.
But if you bind C-S-f, then C-f with Caps-Lock on or C-S-f will of
course invoke that function.
This way, binding S-<f3> to some function will automatically make it
appear.
This is the number two obscure feature of Emacs, IMHO. Number one is
M-x picture-mode RET C-c C-c for removing trailing blanks on each
line.
