I am only wild-guessing, since I am not on Leopard.
However, this sounds more like X11 thinking that your Shift key is
stuck rather than the Caps Lock key. (Caps Lock wouldn't make the
numbers become punctuation.) Have you tried pressing both of your
Shift keys a few times? Usually when something like this happens
I would start pressing all my modifier keys a few times and see if
things get unstuck.
