Is your XKB working properly? What's the output of `setxkbmap -print`? What version of xkbdata or xkeyboard-config? Please attach xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log, then reopen when you've answered the above questions.
I've found the problem. emerge xorg-x11 (7.0) didn't include the xkb and xset packages. As I emerged them manually the problem went away.

Need a response, reopen when you reply.
emerge kbd
kbd is in "system", I'm not sure how you managed to avoid installing it unless you removed it from the "packages" file with a local profile in /etc/portage/.
I don't think so. It was not installed. I am sure the package was new when I did emerge -up world after xorg update. Besides, not only me suffer from this bug. I saw some posts on gentoo forum and one on linux.org.ru forum.
Seeing that this is an isolated incident I'm pretty sure it was a local screwup (and would be nearly impossible to debug now anyway).
