Hmmm, maybe you hacked your files as described in #363525, I am afraid that this bug never got fixed. I just checked in a possible fix in SVN, but I am now away for some time and cannot test it. Can you please try XkbModel "macintosh" and copy http://people.debian.org/~barbier/tmp/gb into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/macintosh_vndr/gb If it works, feel free to ask any XSF member to upload xkb-data from SVN.
