I had exactly the same problem, but for me it was after upgrading to
(selfcompiled) XFree 4.3.0. You would have metioned if you did this
before, right?

My solution, which could be of interest for you, as you probably are
using a German keyboard layout too:
- do xmodmap -e 'keycode 94 = less greater bar'
- As the pipe still didnt work, I had to map pipe to shift-space via
  xmodmap -e 'keycode 65 = space bar'
- for convenience (if you boot more often than every 2 months), you
could put the command
  in .xinitrc or your start-up-script of choice
