On the Swedish Asus EEE901 (Swedish keyboard layout) there is no way to generate a bar (i.e. |) keysym. The keyboard is marked with a white bar in the AltGr position (i.e. below center on the 'z' key), but that keycode with the corresponding modifier generates guillemotleft.

I.e. xmodmap -pke reports:
...
keycode 52 = z Z z Z guillemotleft less
...

Issuing; xmodmap -e "keycode 52 = z Z z Z bar less"
fixes the problem (unsurprisingly).

There may be other keys that are mismapped as well, but this is the one that jumps out at you.
