Does that hold for XIM russian layout or for LEIM russian layout or for both?

The way I understand the situation it is a bug because the above setting
exlpicitly asks for it not to happen. If you want to get С-Ц rather than
C-W than you'd use a different config.
In any case if it's a feature, it should be possible to turn it off since in
such a situation it can be a really annoying feature.
