Or more accurately, please try removing this from src/event.cpp:

        /* When a menu etc gets a grab, it's safe to say we're not tapping
           any key right now. e.g. Detecting taps of "Alt" and cancelling
           when a menu is opened */
        if (event->xfocus.mode == NotifyGrab &&
            event->xfocus.window != priv->root &&
            event->xfocus.window != priv->grabWindow)
            priv->possibleTap = NULL;
