This is caused by your use of the vt console driver with a Unicode
keymap containing characters >= 0x100. I have annalyzed this and
created a PR with patch for the port:

	https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193192

As a workaround, you may start the X server with a US keyboard by
issuing

	kbdcontrol -l us

just before starting X. You'll need to select an appropriate keymap
under X, then.

PS: This is a problem with the xorg-input-keyboard port and if it
    is not fixed within that port, there will be a huge number of
    users affected, when 10.1 is released. This must be fixed!
