Interesting.

I can start X in fullscreen without problems using the same options.

Are you sure that removing -fullscreen allows the X server to start properly?
 This kind of failure (invoking xkbcomp) is usually caused by BLODA or rebase
problems preventing xkbcomp from being spawned.  It would be unusual for that
to only occur with certain options, but I guess it is possible.
