Well, it does not "trigger", the bug simply doesn't show up if there are no
symbols on the third level.
I mean that [ letter otherletter ] == [ letter otherletter NoSymbol NoSymbol ]
and the NoSymbol's being
added to the extra group are effectively wiped out by xkb.
The good news is there is a simple way to reproduce the bug (and maybe someone
will find a simple
solution?):
1. Get a keyboard with multimedia keys (or any other keys with scancodes > 128)
2. Set up any layout with the third level (typo layout is good for making any
layout being so)
3. Now press the multimedia key and you've got an extra group
4. Run setxkbmap and you don't have the extra group
Also, some xev output may be useful (the first two indicate that xkb sends new
maps):
