That certainly looks OK to me, too.

Again, the same as for me (also the output for the other keys which I
removed).
It might indeed be the time to try purging xlibs, xlibs-data and/or
xkb-data. The quickest way is probably to use "dpkg -P --force-depends"
and then to reinstall immediately. You could also try to downgrade to
the previous versions of these packages to see if the bug was really
caused by the upgrade. (You probably still have the necessary .deb files
in your /var/cache/apt/archives/ unless you clean that out since the
upgrade.)
Another thing to check is the output of xmodmap. Here is what I get:
$ xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
$ xmodmap -pk | grep Switch_VT
67 0xffbe (F1) 0x1008fe01 (XF86_Switch_VT_1)
68 0xffbf (F2) 0x1008fe02 (XF86_Switch_VT_2)
69 0xffc0 (F3) 0x1008fe03 (XF86_Switch_VT_3)
70 0xffc1 (F4) 0x1008fe04 (XF86_Switch_VT_4)
71 0xffc2 (F5) 0x1008fe05 (XF86_Switch_VT_5)
72 0xffc3 (F6) 0x1008fe06 (XF86_Switch_VT_6)
73 0xffc4 (F7) 0x1008fe07 (XF86_Switch_VT_7)
74 0xffc5 (F8) 0x1008fe08 (XF86_Switch_VT_8)
75 0xffc6 (F9) 0x1008fe09 (XF86_Switch_VT_9)
76 0xffc7 (F10) 0x1008fe0a (XF86_Switch_VT_10)
95 0xffc8 (F11) 0x1008fe0b (XF86_Switch_VT_11)
96 0xffc9 (F12) 0x1008fe0c (XF86_Switch_VT_12)
