I am having similar problems too. For me it is
mainly the Shift+1 to Shift+0 that is problematic.
Tried the belov patch and it got a little better.
Now I get the chars:
12#45k/()=
when I press Shift+1 to Shift+0
The computer running the vino server has an U.K keyboard
and my clinet computer has a Swedish keyboard.

2.20 which has been stable for a while should have this fixed. If not try vino-2.22 which will be commited in 10 minutes and if it's not fixed, please reopen this bug.
