I think you may be out of luck, as there is something in the latest ioquake3 release notes about capslock and numlock keys not being usable anymore after the switch to SDL input.

I'll need to check this from a Windows machine. Caps Lock seems to work fine for me and is a supported key in SDL according to the docs.

EDIT:
After testing in Windows. I can confirm this bug. I don't have a solution at the moment, but it should be solvable.

EDIT 2:
I have read a little on the Internet and it appears that it is a SDL bug. Debian (including Ubuntu) and Mandrivia uses a custom patch to make it work. Code wise I think it is quite easy to solve, but it will require new binaries or a new SDL.dll.

I have created a new SDL.dll that allows CAPS_LOCK to be used as a key: http://brie.ostenfeld.dk/~poul19/public_files/SDLalternative.zip
