I tried the following patch, setting some xkb-related options for configuring
xorg-server:

(description "X.org provides an implementation of the X Window System")
The same error occurs.
Inspired by nixpkgs, I also tried the following patch to xkeyboard-config:
+ (arguments
+ `(#:configure-flags
+ (list (string-append "--with-xkb-base="
+ (assoc-ref %outputs "out")
+ "/etc/X11/xkb")
+ "--with-xkb-rules-symlink=xorg,xfree86")))
Always the same error.
Should nix not have the same problem?
