I'm pretty sure the reason for the failure is that our xkbcomp is too
old, the newer versions ignore errors caused by having keycodes above
255.. and launching Xwayland in weston clearly shows a bunch of errors
from xkbcomp. Our version (1.4.0) is almost 2y old and this was fixed
upstream in 1.4.1 in June 2018.
So I'll update x11-xkb-utils, thanks for the patience..
