Thanks for looking into this.

Is it possible to devise a simple work-around that would depend on
some optional variable?  The work-around doesn't need to handle all
usage scenarios, just allow using a particular keyboard layout with
reasonable results (e.g., it could break usage of some other layouts).

If such  work-around is possible, I think we should consider it for
the upcoming Emacs 25.1 as a temporary stopgap.
