Thanks for reporting this.
This seems to be due to a change in xkeyboard-config [1]
It looks like I need to update the table which maps from Windows to XKB
keyboard layouts (so that US dvorak maps to layout=us variant=dvorak,
rather than just layout=dvorak), which is built into the X server.
As a workaround in the meantime, you can use an explicit 'setxkbmap us
dvorak', or keep on downgrading xkeyboard-config.
