The relevant lines are identical:

keycode  51 = numbersign apostrophe numbersign apostrophe grave grave grave

All other differences (probably due to newer stuff in -current) looks
purely cosmetical (like BackSpace being mapped with additional modifier
keys).

Xev for me says:

KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
    root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 702468, (48,77), root:(1094,529),
    state 0x0, keycode 51 (keysym 0x23, numbersign), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (23) "#"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (23) "#"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Can you try creating a ~/.Xmodmap file which has just one line:

keycode 113 = BSlash

(113 from memory, use the code xev tells you)

and restart X?
