Please discard my previous comments, I had a closer look to this issue
and found that:
  a. XFree86 upstream introduced a multi-layout version of us_intl
     after 4.3.0
  b. Some old layout keymaps are not listed in /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86

For these reasons, I reassign this bugreport to xlibs, and will provide
patches for both issues very soon.
