I found this blog post on the same problem. Apparently left-alt + shift will do it. Removing that from the Windows "Advanced Key Settings" dialog and/or removing all unwanted keymaps should fix the problem.
I am not on a Windows system at the moment so cannot verify this.
Update
I have tried it on a Windows system and can verify that this is the problem - alt+shift defaults to cycling through the all the keyboard configurations.
It can be changed from (deep breath...)
Control Panel -> Regional & Language Options -> Languages Tab -> Details button -> Key Settings -> Switch between input languages
Unselect both tickboxes on the final dialog.
I find it astonishing that anyone at Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to have a simple key combination that silently changes the keyboard mapping and other language settings, and only for the current program. How often has anyone wanted to do that?
