This happens to me when using the Dvorak keymapping.
I created a bug on this (#3172997) and noted it's because the
dead_* versions of the keys are mapped.
For me, the interim fix has been to add the following two
lines to a file named keysym.fix-dead-keys
keycode 30 = 6 asciicircum section UFB02
keycode 58 = grave asciitilde dead_grave
and then run xmodmap < keysym.fix-dead-keys. (I also turned
off "Follow system keyboard layout" in preferences and have
separate aliases to switch between Dvorak and qwerty in X11 so
I only need the fix once. With the preference turned on, you
need to run the fix each time the keys get remapped.)
By the way, just putting those lines in your .Xmodmap or
some other startup file won't work since the keys aren't
remapped until the first keyboard input. The result is that
the keymap gets borked after the startup files run but before
the effect of your first keypress.
