And if you try
  $ cd /tmp/xlibs/etc/X11/xkb
  $ setxkbmap -model jp106 -layout jp -option compose:menu -print
do you have the same output?
... xkb_symbols   { include "jp+compose(menu)"      };

Files are first searched relative to current directory, which is why
running setxkbmap from this directory may give different results.
