setxkbmap in awesome 4 introduces 1min lag

I frequently change my keyboard layout via setxkbmap. Recently, this introduces a huge lag, where awesome is not responsive. This happened after my switch to v4.0 (I am not sure whether the upgrade is responsible, though...).

In my .xerrors I see a lot of entries

W: awesome: event_handle_mappingnotify:930: Unexpected MappingNotify of type 0
W: awesome: event_handle_mappingnotify:930: Unexpected MappingNotify of type 1
...
W: awesome: event_handle_mappingnotify:930: Unexpected MappingNotify of type 0

ended by

W: awesome: a_glib_poll:389: Last main loop iteration took 84.941757 seconds! Increasing limit for this warning to that value.
/usr/share/awesome/lib/beautiful/xresources.lua:84: W: Failed to get xrdb value 'Xft.dpi'

I am not sure whether this last entry is related, though.

Any pointers on how to solve this?
