AFAIK, the current workaround was discovered by Andrew Innes after much experimentation when the MS docs were found inadequate, and this is the first bug report I have seen saying that it doesn't work for suppressing the Start Menu as documented. But since the user is using your patched version, I can only suppose that it is your changes to low level Windows key handling that are causing this problem.
