Okay, I doubt you're using it, then.
I cannot reproduce this problem. I have a U.S. PC-style USB keyboard
hooked up to my keyboard, and I ran the following command to set up
my keyboard like yours:
$ setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc105 -layout de -variant nodeadkeys
I then ran xev, and pressed and released every key along the bottom row:

As I understand it, AltGr is "ISO_Level3_Shift" in XKB parlance.
Do you see the same key events when you do the same thing?
Furthermore, when I hold this key down and press my top row of keys, I get the
following characters:
¬¹²³¼½¬{[]}\¸
...which makes it appear to me that AltGr is working as intended.
Are you running a GNOME or KDE keyboard configuration application? These often
screw up the keyboard.
