Broken xkb/rules/evdev.xml

Hello,
At first reboot after installing, gdm refused to start, and let me to deal with finding the issue from terminal.
I finally got to this:
Which lead me to this broken line:
After fixing it, gdm accepted to start normally.
This was on a Ubuntu 20.04.
When I then installed on a 22.04, the behaviour was different. Gdm started fine, and I could log on. But keyboard was in qwerty for most windows, except, oddly for firefox and gimp, who were using the intended layout (4caws). I also noticed the layout selector in top right corner of gnome was missing.
After fixing the evdev.xml file in the same way, and rebooted, things went a bit better, but not fully. Ie. it's like most windows and gnome seems to use something like 4ca (which I have never configured or tried on this machine), but firefox and gimp do use the expected 4caws.
Maybe that one could be related to wayland. But I don't even know which compositor is used by default...
Thanks! That bug had been sitting around since June. Fixed now.
I think Ubuntu Wayland uses the Sway compositor by default? Looks like different programs respect different instructions, ugh.
