Yes, I am using newcons.I have compiled the kernel with:

# wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
ident           NEWCONS
nodevice        vga,sc
device          vt,vt_vga

I can always reproduce the bug in this way:
1) run the command startx in ttyv0
2) Ctrl+Alt+F1 to return to ttyv0
3) Ctrl+Alt+F9 to return to the X session
4) Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill the X session
The keyboard do not works
5) Ctrl+Alt+F2, Ctrl+Alt+F2
The keyboard now works.

I can display the '€' symbol replacing one value:
# diff it.iso.kbd.orig it.iso.ukbd
58c58
<   018   'e'    'E'    enq    enq    164    'E'    enq    enq     C

but using it.iso.ukbd the X server do not start crashing :-(((
