I worked around the problem which prevents switching from
xkb-data-legacy to xkb-data, and this made the bug disappear.
Why, with xkb-data, the buggy modifier map should be transient still
isn't clear to me. And even less clear is why if this is the case a
partial map written by xmodmap is not overwritten.
But it does mean that I now have a working setup, thanks.
It might be worth seeing if we can fix #496700 and mark xkb-data as
Replacing xkb-data-legacy, to try to encourage its autoinstallation on
upgrade.
Ian.
