If you carefully look the link I sent before, you'll note that your setup
is also managed by xorg (jump to "Advanced Configuration"):

Advanced Configuration
You can use multi-layouts xkb configuration. What does it mean? Basically
it allows to load up to four different keyboard layouts at a time. Each
such layout would reside in its own group. The groups (unlike complete
keyboard remapping) can be switched very fast from one to another by a
combination of keys.
Let's say you want to configure your new Logitech cordless desktop
keyboard, you intend to use three different layouts at the same time -
us, czech and german (in this order), and that you are used to Alt-Shift
combination for switching among them.

It's documented and should work. If it does not, it can be a bug you
should report at BTS.
