auto generated xorg configuration

Switching the VT is is impossible for some valid xorg-configurations on openSuSe 11.1 (fresh installation).

All Ctrl+Alt combinations are broken on my machine for following configuration:
  Option       "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

It works fine for me using a different switch option:
  Option       "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"

It seems as if many multiple language users are effected by this bug.

This is the SaX auto-configuration triggering the fault:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "kbd"
  Identifier   "Keyboard[0]"
  Option       "Protocol" "Standard"
  Option       "XkbLayout" "de,ru"
  Option       "XkbModel" "microsoftpro"
  Option       "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
  Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"
  Option       "XkbVariant" "basic,basic"
