No shift-space in US keyboard with Xkbvariant "biblical" for Hebrew

My 10-evdev.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d looks like this:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us,gr,il"
        Option "XkbVariant" "altgr-intl,polytonic,biblical"
        Option "XkbOptions" "grp:rctrl_toggle"
EndSection

The problem is that, while using the normal English keyboard layout, shift-space doesn't produce a space. According to xev, shift-space produces "no-symbol". As soon as I remove "biblical" from the Xkbvariant list, the problem is solved.

Anyone an idea as to what the problem can be? A keyboard variant for Hebrew should not be influencing my US keyboard, should it?

The symbols map for Hebrew is in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/il.
