The output on my device matches what is in your two files perfectly, except that on the device.txt mine ends with:
geometry: pc(pc105)
Error loading new keyboard description
~$
Mine has never been reflashed

The output here also match yours, no error, but the keyboard has exactly the same behavior as before, only the letters work.

Also I found that sometimes (but not always) after doing this, the Enter key on the bluetooth keyboard has no effect in an X terminal even though it does have effect in an Emacs window. But Ctrl-J and Ctrl-M can generate Enter. I don't know why this sometimes (but not always) happens.

I don't know why.

Well,
Everything went smoothly, until I got to my second xkbcomp check...
...at which point it became apparent that my setxkbmap command is not actually changing anything.
The two output files are identical (anybody know how to get 'diff' on the n900? I had to transfer the files to my laptop), and the keyboard behavior has not changed.
Ran as 'user', $DEVICE bound to :0.0, bluetooth device ID 4, No errors, verbose (-v 10 -print) output identical to qobi's, etc..
Thoughts?

OK,
I had left the "-print" argument in my script, so setxkbmap wasn't actually doing anything. Now I get the same error ("Error loading new keyboard description") as everyone else (other than qobi).
Does anybody know the point of the blank "-I" (as in "eye") argument? Does it rely on any assumptions about the present working directory from which the command is executed?
Variations on the setxkbmap command get me variations on the error...but nothing that makes me happy.

-I directory
Adds a directory to the list of directories to be used to
search for specified layout or rules files.
But the man page for xkbcomp (on Debian Lenny) says:
-Idir Specifies top-level directories to be searched for files
included by the keymap description. After all directories
specified by -I options have been searched, the current direc-
tory and finally, the default xkb directory (usually
/usr/lib/X11/xkb) will be searched.
To prevent the current and default directories from being
searched, use the -I option alone (i.e. without a directory),
before any -I options that specify the directories you do want
searched.
