xkeyboard-config bug #9752 [1] has been resolved with a change [2] to make the
tilde not a dead key in the german keyboard layout.
Perhaps you could try the lastest xkeyboard-config from git and confirm that
the change is correct :-)
If you have any other issues with the xkeyboard-config data for the german
keyboard layout, it might be more efficient to engage directly with the
xkeyboard-config maintainer, as he has a lot more expertise in this area than
I do.
