Git log showed me this:

commit 275345c1fe64b8262259f236f78a0cdf17ed053c
Author: Aleix Pol <aleixpol at kde.org>
Date:   Thu Apr 4 16:37:00 2013 +0200

    Simplify grouping behavior regarding the control key modifier
    
    Only check if control is pressed when showing the dock using the button,
    otherwise it leads to weird behaviors. (see bug)
    
    BUG: 296475

That at least gives us a hint at where the code is and how it tests it all 
(via. Qt::ControlModifier). So someone should investigate and debug this, to 
find out why and when it stopped working :)

Bye
