It is still an issue; I'm attaching the keymap.xkb.  BTW, running the
command throws:

~$ xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY keymap.xkb
Warning:          Could not load keyboard geometry for :0.0
                  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
                  Resulting keymap file will not describe geometry

I have no idea what this means - I have no idea what resources are
meant here; I have plenty of free memory and diskspace.
