COMMAND modifier key on IE sends non-text-character

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 7992

I have a textbox and I want to use modifier keys with it.
SHIFT, ALT, and CTRL work across all platforms and browsers. CMD does too except on
IE. The page that I have set up shows that users can send CMD to the textbox, and that
it receives the proper key code manually.

However, when the test-writer sends COMMAND to the textfield in IE, it gets a non-text
character 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Action modifierkey = builder
.keyDown(WebElement, Keys.COMMAND)
.build();
modifierkey.perform();

Selenium version:2.42.2
OS: Win7 x64 
Browser: Internet Explorer
Browser version:  IE9, IE10, IE11 (confirmed on all 3)

I'm attaching a very useful test page that will help you to diagnose. It allows you
to test human or selenium with ease and match up behavior.
