/usr/bin/setxkbmap -layout "us,ru" -option "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" -- this seems works like expected.

Plrase give more detailed instructions how to do this ?

You may ask first at the Xorg irc channels or search/file an upstream bug to the fdo tracker: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi - not sure what component might be the culprint here (App/setxkbmap or main Xorg server?)

You should also try to git bisect your bug.
