Initially I did not think too much about xorg.conf since your problem
was caused by an upgrade without configuration change (if I understood
you correctly). I guess the new version of Xorg is somehow less tolerant
towards ill-defined configuration settings.
I meanwhile looked up the allowed XkbVariants for the "us" XkbLayout:
$ awk '/xkb_symbols/{print $2}' /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us
"basic"
"euro"
"intl"
"alt-intl"
"dvorak"
"dvorak-l"
"dvorak-r"
"dvorak-classic"
"rus"
"mac"
"colemak"
"altgr-intl"
"classmate"
"classmate-intl"
"classmate-alt-intl"
"classmate-altgr-intl"
Leaving it empty should be equivalent to choosing the "basic" variant.
