Shortly, in 2.18 both XkbOptions compose:ralt (set compose button to Right Alt) and grp:toggle (keyboard layout switch with Right Alt; I use this in my Xorg config) don't work with XkbLayout us,ru. Both of these worked in version 2.17 and before.

I suggest to update xkeyboard-config package using attached PKGBUILD and patch to fix this problem, this works perfectly for me. I used Natrio's solution from first comment to bug at Bugzilla and removed this from symbols/ru file:

include "level3(ralt_switch)"
   PKGBUILD (1.3 KiB)
   compose_ralt_enru.patch (0.4 KiB)
This task depends upon
