Thank you, it really _is_ my fault.
Recompiled without my hack to Makefile (KDSKBDIACRUC really exists in kd.h), but no success. C3 AC still returned pressing dead caron followed by "e" key. C3 AC means LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH GRAVE, i.e. it has nothing to do with pressed keys.

Searching for problem I've found strange definition in cz-us-qwertz.kmap(.gz):

keycode 13  = dead_acute dead_circumflex equal plus VoidSymbol VoidSymbol (...)

but I expect dead caron instead of dead_circumflex

keycode 13  = dead_acute dead_caron equal plus VoidSymbol VoidSymbol (...)

Redefinition of this symbol in /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz doesn't solve it - dumpkeys still returns dead_circumflex at this position.
