Recent upgrade of xfree-xserv: missing DLLs

OK. XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-1 eventually reached a mirror near me, and I
installed it. Things now work that for a brief period did not. However,
after set DISPLAY followed by start XWin -multiwindow followed by run
rxvt -e bash, I still find that

    pressing # gives \, pressing ~ gives |, pressing \ gives < and pressing
| gives >

whilst these keys work just fine in bash.

I do not mean to download every agony on readers, and will continue to try
to sort this. But is anybody experiencing similar recent anomalies, and are
they indicative of something obvious?
