Indeed, with xev, there are no event when I press the third key of this combination.
What is a bit strange is that my keyboard can handle the "left shift" + "right shift" + "exclam" but is not able to handle the "left shift" + "right shift" + "comma" that seems to be similar (same number of keys pushed at the same time).

So, I don't like this combination, but I have no choice:
keycode 61 = exclam section exclamdown questiondown dead_belowdot dead_abovedot dead_belowdot

Instead of typing "left shift" + "right shift" + "comma" for my "question down" character it will be "left shift" + "right shift" + "exclam".
