This sounds like the evdev xkb issue. If so, it's not fixed in 1.5 or master,
but I have a patch in rawhide that avoids the issue.

This paragraph is the big hint, but if you alread use the above patch than we
have to dig deeper. Admittedly, it sounds a bit different and more
complicated, but I'd like to rule out this possibility.
The upstream bugreport would be
