This is a bug with xkbcomp and it has been reported upstream long ago. There is a redhat/fedora bug report [1] (which has been closed, but the fix didn't work) and a freedesktop.org bug report [2], both assigned to Peter Hutterer, who seems rather busy (and the bug seems rather difficult to track down)...
I've seen somebody mention that one could disable the computation of keyboard geometry and the bug would be avoided, but I'm just trying to avoid using setxkbmap for the time being.

Thanks for the useful information, Rogutės! Probably instead of using setxkbmap in shell script I'll write a simple C program using x11 libs (as e.g. xfce xkb plugin does). Cheers, Sergey
