Mmm, I'm getting +compose(rwin) here with your keyboard configuration...
Just to make sure keyboard-configuration does its job, could

grep XKB /dev/.udev/db/input:event*

if XKBOPTIONS=compose:rwin shows up, it's really not
keyboard-configuration's fault and the bug should be reassigned to
xserver-xorg-input-keyboard (or possibly something else that perturbs
it, but maintainers there will know more).
