Thanks. I checked out the 2.11 version that Ubuntu 18.04 shipped and found the problem:

    pc-bios/keymaps: keymaps update

    Update the keymaps with the ones generated by qemu-keymap

Prior to this commit, this file said it was generated from XKB, and was much smaller, not including the scan code for that other key. This commit added the 0x56 bar translation with altgr, and it wasn't until after 2.12 those smarts were inserted to pick the scancode that matches the current modifier keys.

So I think it should be as simple as removing this one line from the keymap file and we can SRU a fix!
