By the looks of things, this symlink should probably be moved to common package.

Is it trying to install a file named /usr/lib64/X11/app-defaults there?

It does and it seems that more atoms seem to claim ownership.
Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-09-18 18:41:14 UTC 
Fixed in x11-misc/xvkbd-3.5-r1 and x11-misc/xxkb-1.11-r3.

No, both packages tried to install a directory where there already was a symlink to the proper app-defaults directory:

/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults -> ../../../etc/X11/app-defaults
