Not sure what the ultimate problem was, but I blew away my
~/.config/dconf directory, rebooted and caps lock started working again.
Very odd failure case, and I have no clue what changed in my
configuration to break things that utterly.

I was using 12.10 all of last week during UDS, and suspended and resumed regularly, with no ill effects with Orca usage and capslock. I also wonder whether capslock and insert behave normally under normal circumstances on the hardware you have.
