Here is the relevant code snippet from libvo/x11_common.c:

void xscreensaver_heartbeat(void)
{
    unsigned int time = GetTimerMS();
    XEvent ev;

    if (mDisplay && xs_windowid &&
        ((time - time_last) > 30000 || (time - time_last) < 0))
    {
        time_last = time;

        ev.xany.type = ClientMessage;
        ev.xclient.display = mDisplay;
        ev.xclient.window = xs_windowid;
        ev.xclient.message_type = screensaver;
        ev.xclient.format = 32;
        memset(&ev.xclient.data, 0, sizeof(ev.xclient.data));
        ev.xclient.data.l[0] = (long) deactivate;

        mp_msg(MSGT_VO, MSGL_DBG2, "Pinging xscreensaver.\n");
        XSendEvent(mDisplay, xs_windowid, False, 0L, &ev);
        XSync(mDisplay, False);
    }
}

I may be wrong, but I do not see a shift key in there.
