Right, so having different definitions makes sense, but KP_Separator seems
to cause trouble. The definition of the key has been discussed at:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/xf-xpert/msg07783.html
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101225
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50282
But AFAICT problems with KP_Separator have not been reported.

But isn't a comma treated as a decimal separator in some locales?

With your settings, this key is defined as
key { [ KP_Delete, KP_Separator ] }
but other layouts define
key { [ KP_Delete, KP_Decimal ] }
It seems that KP_Decimal is a period and KP_Separator a comma.
That said, I do not know why this causes trouble.

Bug#235125: xfree86-common: Decimal point on numeric part of Danish kbd doesn't work in some apps
Package: xfree86-common Version: 4.3.0-2 Severity: normal In most X applications like xchat and gaim I cannot use the decimal point on the numeric part at the right of my keyboard. It is as if no input is registered. In Mozilla, the button push results in the insertion of a | Disabling Numlock turns the key into a regular Delete button as it is supposed to. There is no problem when running gnome-terminal or in a TTY - the decimal point is printed correctly. My keyboard worked as normal until a recent upgrade of Debian Unstable. I have a Danish keyboard with the following settings in XF86Config-4: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "dk" EndSection I have had the same problem with Red Hat Linux 8.0.
