Excellent.  Score one for careful diagnosis.  ;-)

Yes.  It is an amazingly complex system you're using.

You may be able to turn it on or off in BIOS configuration of your
computer.  You can also disable the key entirely using xmodmap in an
automatic startup script.

(I'm not planning to take it further ... but there might be an argument
that XASTIR, Motif or LessTif should ignore the modifier for the
purposes of cut and paste ... imagine working in an incident control
centre, relying on this feature, and somebody bumps a keyboard, striking
Num Lock.  The additional uncertainty is the last thing you need.)
