[XFree86] Xkb problems in latest CVS?

I recently compiled X from CVS, and I'm having problems with Xkb. I use both Hebrew (ISO-8859-8) & English on my machine, and have the following options on XF86Config to switch between the groups using both-shifts:

Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"


After compiling & install the latest CVS I couldn't switch groups to Hebrew, and I noticed several keys don't work well (for example I get numbers from the keypad's arrows even when Numlock is off). I looked XF86 log and found the following lines that has anything to do with the keyboard:

(**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
(**) XKB: rules: "xfree86"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
(**) XKB: model: "pc105"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
(**) XKB: layout: "us,il"
(**) Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
(**) XKB: options: "grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
(==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled

(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
(II) Server_Terminate keybinding not found


I'm guessing the last two lines signal a problem? What and where should I look into it?
Previous compilation worked without a problem with the Hebrew/English keymaps.
