events comprising a WM shortcut

Can you, please, explain where it is stated that X generates key events at  
random without any relation to keys physically pressed on the keyboard?

Searching around the Web I found a piece of Xlib manual detailing keyboard  
events here:

http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/events/keyboard-pointer/keyboard-pointer.html

It says that key events may lag if input processing is frozen but not that  
key events are randomly lost in X server.

If you have a manual stating otherwise then please share where it is  
located.

Otherwise I would say that the observed behaviour points to an issue with  
XMonad - the application is very capable of tracking the key state unless a  
key event is eaten by XMonad.

Thanks
