You're right, i was confusing the deadkeys bug, which is gtkdfb related,

Anyway, we never succeeded in addressing this specific issue :(
I see. Are there any known workarounds for this? I guess I'm not the
only one who wants to use keymaps other than us... I tried using
linux_input as inputdriver instead of dfb-keyboard, but that
does not help unfortunately.
I've been working for a couple of years now with DFB inthe context of
developing the graphical debian installer and, at current date,
linux_input is the DFB component which is causing us most severe headaches.
Most severe issue we found is linux_input crashing on some PPC machines
[1], this force us to switch to keyboard and ps2mouse drivers depending
on specific hardware, which adds complexity to the installer and
prevents us from switching to an unique input driver for all i386, amd64
and ppc.
BTW it would make sense to re-test the crash cases. Many ioctl arguments
were incorrect. It was spotted by Sakur here:

I pushed the fix some time ago:
