 XKB files have been moved into /usr/share/X11/xkb, so it is very strange
 that your workaround has any influence.  I can see only 2 reasons at the
 moment:
   * Some of your X packages have not been upgraded to X.Org 7
   * The XKBPATH environment variable is set to /etc/X11/xkb
 Can you please check?

Thanks for the clues.

Found out I've still got xlibs 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 installed.

When I try to apt-get remove this, it also removes:
  gnome-applets gnome-control-center gnome-panel gnome-session
  gnome-terminal nautilus totem totem-gstreamer

When I reinstall these, it reinstalls xlibs.

gnome-control-center 1:2.12.3-2 depends on xlibs (unversioned)
 (bug #365977, perhaps?)

totem-gstreamer 1.2.1-4 depends on xlibs (= 4.2.1-9)

xlibs (transitional?) 1:7.0.* is still in experimental

This may explain why the /etc/X11/xkb files are still in play?

I'll try installing the experimental xlibs and see what happens.

Same situation for me here, but interestingly it's only one user's
account that has this problem. Unfortunately, it's the one account that
I really need to use X on.

I got it to work again by commenting out the -VMode/+VMode sections of
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc (as below). Of course, this disables
resolution changes, but I never use that anyway...

// -VMode switches to the previous video mode
//  key KPSU {
//  type=CTRL+ALT,
//  symbols[Group1]= [ KP_Subtract, XF86_Prev_VMode ]
//  };

key  KP7 {[  KP_Home, KP_7]   };
key  KP8 {[  KP_Up,   KP_8]   };
key  KP9 {[  KP_Prior,KP_9]   };

// +VMode switches to the next video mode
//  key KPAD {
//  type=CTRL+ALT,
//  symbols[Group1]= [ KP_Add,  XF86_Next_VMode ]
//  };
