Default Jsfx: gfx_getchar(char) broken for non-alphabetics on Windows

gfx_getchar(char) for non-alphabetic characters on Windows returns 0 after a Jsfx starts, changes to 1 when char is pressed, but never changes back to 0. this code shows the problem in the Js editor:
Code:
@gfx
gc_a= gfx_getchar('a');
gc_1= gfx_getchar('1');
gc_slash= gfx_getchar('/');
with 32 bit Windows Reaper 6.10 on WinXPpro sp2, gc_a will toggle, but gc_1 & gc_slash get stuck on 1. i have reports of the same behavior on WIN10_64 REAPER64. same code works as expected on a mac.

Seems to be the case for reascript too. It seems internally the release isn't actually releasing.

Code:
function update()
  char = gfx.getchar()
  
  gfx.set(0, 0, 0, .5)
  gfx.rect(0, 0, gfx.w, gfx.h);
  gfx.update()
  
  gfx.setfont(2, "Arial", 16);
  gfx.x = 0;
  gfx.set(1, 1, 1, 1);
  if gfx.getchar(97) == 1 then
    gfx.printf("A")
  end
  if gfx.getchar(49) == 1 then
    gfx.printf("1")
  end
  if gfx.getchar(50) == 1 then
    gfx.printf("2")
  end
  
  if char ~= -1 then
    reaper.defer(update)
  else
    gfx.quit()
  end
end

gfx.init("ohnoes", 160, 60, 0, 60, 60)
reaper.defer(update)
Press A, then 1, then 2. The last two don't release until the window has lost focus it seems.

Due to complexities of Windows keyboard handling and eel_lice.h's somewhat-crappy implementation, it will still be broken for querying the state of modified keys (e.g. '@' on a US-eng keyboard). But '/' and '1' should work...

Supposing the user presses shift-2, if I test for '2' instead of '@' will that work?

Answering my own question based on the latest dev build: no, it doesn't work.
