@kbit: I managed to workaround this only by manipulating scim. I first
uninstalled everything SCIM but I got the same effect as you did.

So next I installed the minimum scim packages (you'll have to convince aptitude 
to not install the recommends; I only have  libscim8c2a, scim, 
scim-gtk2-immodule and scim-modules-socket). And then I hacked around blindly 
in SCIM's configuration until it stopped annoying me. The configuration is 
available in System>Preferences>SCIM Input Method Setup. I don't know what 
exactly caused the bug to go away, but my config is like this:
***********
Front End > Global Setup: 
  Keyboard Layout set to Dvorak (I use Dvorak, but a non-standard version, so I 
doubt this matters).
  Embed Preedit String... & Share the same input... options checked.
  Hotkeys: deleted all of them (the fields are empty)
IMEngine > Global Setup: 
  All checkboxes disabled (unchecked)
Panel > GTK
  Show: Never (I think this is the only one that matters)
  Embeded lookup table: checked
  Vertical lookup table: unchecked
  Show tray icon: unchecked
  Stick windows: unchecked
***********
After setting SCIM as above and configuring my keyboard through the keyboard 
applet I have my primary keyboard working as expected, including AltGr (I have 
“Press right alt key to choose 3rd level” enabled in the keyboard options, but 
also some hacking in the custom keyboard layout; the latter didn't use to work, 
but I have no idea if it does anything now). However, there are still weird 
things happening with the secondary keyboard layout (different bug filled for 
that). YMMV.
