$HOME/.Xmodmap is applied twice in Xubuntu 12.04 LTS, I'm afraid. The error messages I find in $HOME/.xsession-errors are the same I get when running xmodmap twice on the command line (without any $HOME/.Xmodmap present at login). By the same test, it is applied once in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, both for 2D end 3D xsessions. My test:
