I have a similar problem. My keyboard has some special multimedia keys
(like play/stop/forward/...) and the base of the keycodes is:
Control+Alt+Mod4+Super_L+?
The ? are different letters for different keys but the start of the
keycombo is always the same. Unfortunately, the keyboard MCS plugin
only recognise the first three parts and so every key I press get
Control+Alt+Mod4+Super_L. I workarounded this by manually editing the
XML file in ~/.config/xfce4/shortcuts after reading the whole keycombo
with xev.

But I guess at all it is more a GTK/GDK problem than Xfce?
