No. In my message "the key" tried to mean "they key affected by the
variable previously referred to".

In other words:

  ELISP> (setq w32-enable-caps-lock nil)
 nil

And now I press Caps Lock and keep it down: the caps lock light
flickers like mad. I release the key: the light flicks a few moments
more (while the typematic buffer lasts, I suppose), and then stops.
Sometimes on, sometimes off.

The same thing happens with `w32-enable-num-lock' and the Num Lock key.
