Well, yeah, but the cause of the crash seemed to be xkb so I suspected a
proper fix would go there too. Especially as only xkb changed between
"not crashing" and "crashing".

Indeed, thanks for letting me know. Looking at that report, yes I also
used a microsoft keyboad which X11 identified as microsoftpro as well. 

Luckily I'm now using a differnet keyboard so there's hope I am not
