I have forwarded this bug report, and cut and pasted patch upstream to the xfree86 mailing list / bug report list, where it is awaiting community feedback in order to ensure that this problem gets good peer review and a correct fix is found. Once the proper fix is determined by the XFree86 community, and checked into the CVS repository, it will be included in a future build of XFree86 and made available for testing. I will update this report at that time. In the mean time, if you wish to further participate in seeking a resolution to this issue, you may also wish to join the xfree86 mailing list, and participate in developmental discussions concerning xkb. Defering for community approved solution.
This is believed to be fixed in the latest XFree86 CVS release. Please test XFree86-4.2.99.4-20030129.1 from rawhide, and close this report as RAWHIDE if it now works. Otherwise please change to ASSIGNED and report the problem to xfree86 to ensure they fix it before XFree86 4.3.0 is released. Thanks.
Fix confirmed with XFree86-4.2.99.901-20030203.1.
