Changing layout breaks numpad keys

Description
Turn on NumLock, verify the behavior by pressing the numpad digits.
Change layout by executing a "setxkbmap us" or similar command. Verify that numpad digits still work as expected.
Press and release any of the modifiers, e.g. left shift.
Press the numpad keys and figure out that they're in a broken inconsistent state that should never occur. Numpad 5 inserts a literal 5 into applications, whereas the rest work as if NumLock had been turned off. numlockx reports it is switched on. Press the NumLock key and it's turned off, press again and it's turned on correctly.
Expected behavior: changing layout should of course not effect numlock's state.
