Problem with CurrentValue and Alt key

Hi, I got the following example from the Documentation Center on 
CurrentValue, but noticed a quirk: pushing the Alt key is signaled 
correctly only every other time (only the first, third, fifth, etc., the 
second etc. seem to be ignored):


Grid[{ToExpression["\[" <> # <> "]"],
     Dynamic[CurrentValue[#]]} & /@ {"AltKey", "CommandKey",
    "ControlKey", "OptionKey", "ShiftKey"}, Frame -> All,
  ItemStyle -> {{Large, Automatic}}]


This is both on Linux (SuSE 10.?) and on Windows XP, Mathematica 7.0.1.
Bug or feature?
