The original bug report was for letter keys on layouts that don't generate Latin characters like Russian or Greek. On Windows AWT handles these keys by assigning a Latin key code (so shortcuts like Ctrl-A continue to work) and separately providing an extended key code based on the Unicode value. On Mac AWT is dropping the ball by not providing a Latin key code.
