OK I solved this in X just now (before reading your email but on info from the forums) by changing "uk" to "gb" under "XKBLayout" so that's solved, but there's still the problem at the console. The problem of Caps not working in the console, however, is a duplicate of (and better explained in) Bug #63104. It appears that the Caps key is appearing to the console as a Shift Lock, not Caps Lock. Really odd.
