Maybe, but there were two others with keyboard problems as well. Maybe
it depends on unicode_stop or unicode_start on the console, but that
doesn't appear to be the case for me (I can't reproduce it).

Please try the following with $_layout="auto":
Change the two #if 0's before pretty_keysym and printf in
src/plugin/kbd_unicode/keymaps.c to #if 1 and recompile. Then please
report what's printed to stdout.
