It should still work with that keyboard config, and it does for me.
There have been some changes to allow the key sequences like this to be
redefined via XKB, but Joe added code recently to automatically fall
back to the built-in sequences when they're not defined in the XKB maps.
None of that should be a problem for a complete 4.2.99.4 installation.
I noticed that your log file was also for the mouse auto-detect problem
you reported in a separate message. Have you confirmed that the two
things are not related (I don't see how they should be, but it's worth
checking if you haven't already)?

Try adding the following to your ServerLayout section:
Option "HandleSpecialKeys" "Always"
and see if that makes a difference. If it does, we'll need to track
down why either the XKB map isn't working or it's not falling back
correctly to the built-in settings.
