Maybe try setting breakpoints on handle_key_release() or
_handle_key_release() to see if either get called after resuming from a
breakpoint in Win98?

Nothing in src/win/wkeybd.c modifies key[] directly.  For that,
handle_key_press() and handle_key_release() call _handle_key_press() and
_handle_key_release() respectively, which are defined in src/keyboard.c.
If key[] is being set in Win98 it should happen via handle_key_release()
or _handle_key_release().
