Sorry for the delay,

I tried with a minimal test case, and caps locks key was detected in all cases. Maybe it has to be with the way greeter uses gtk+ library.
On the other hand, according to this:

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/2.24/GtkEntry.html#GtkEntry--caps-lock-warning

caps lock warning should be activated by default in Gtk entries, which is not happening in greeter for some reason.
Is there another component in tails using the same library, where caps lock warning is already working?

Cheers.

Ping? I'm curious if this is a bug in one of the underlying libraries,
in how we're using them, or in some other part of the greeter.

Cheers,
