Not sure if this is directly relevant to your problem, but I have some 
shortcuts defined by directly modifying the file ~/.xmodmaprc. These 
also get lost whenever I change the keyboard language (I routinely 
switch between three of these). I have found that I regain them if I 
re-run the command :
xmodmap .xmodmaprc
The documentation suggests that you should not have to add the 
".xmodmaprc" filename - this should be the default file that xmodmap 
runs on, but in my hands it only works if I specify the filename.
So now whenever I switch keyboard language, I re-run the above command 
and regain my shortcuts.
