As of yesterday (2012-03-07), the situation is as follows:

Other layouts which use AltGr combinations work Ok. For example, French, Portuguese,Brazilian,German, Croatian, any US-international layout using AltGr, various UK/GB keyboards and so on. I can install any four of those and switch between them and have them work.

However, if the Maori layout is installed with any 1, 2, or 3 of the others, NONE of the layouts work properly with the AltGr key. This is with all the xkb packages reinstalled for 12.04.

Earlier, I had tried installing the /usr/share/X11/xkb files with an additional layout for Hawaiian in the rules/evdev.xml and symbols/us files. This layout differs from the Maori layout only by the addition of an ´okina (glottal stop) character on the single/double quote key of the US layout. That worked well. I am not sure why the Maori layout has such a problem.
