About a week ago my ~/.Xmodmap, which turns off Caps Lock, started being
ignored. It is not even accessed (as judged by ls -lu) when I start X.
According to the report for bug 622185, this happened when xkb-data was
upgraded from 1.8-2 to 2.1-2. Since you don't list xkb-data among your
upgraded packages, maybe this is irrelevant to your problem.
For my problem, the workaround was to add this to ~/.xinitrc:
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
There may be a similar workaround for your situation.
