Fixed in upstream git, along with a fix for a further problem that I can't replicate. Unfortunately, the required fix [ 887d8c8b501d2e1b829975385c35e7499587396d ] is enormous, because of the removal of old .gmo files and reworking of the .po files. But, in fact, the required part of the change is the removal of the spanish translation. The commit is at http://git.altlinux.org/people/legion/packages/kbd.git?p=kbd.git;a=commit;h=887d8c8b501d2e1b829975385c35e7499587396d
I've been able to build and DESTDIR install 1.15.3 without problems (again, on a slightly old system, but the gettext problem did show up here) by deleting the spanish translation before running configure, i.e.
rm po/es.gmo po/es.po
I'd earlier tried editing po/Makefile after configure had run, but make re-ran configure and recreated the unedited version. This seems to be because the dependency is all the 'po' files.

Marking as WONTFIX due to the bug discussed here, and another regression at http://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/kbd/2011-May/000308.html. We'll just wait for 1.15.4 instead.
Seems there are gettext problems. Thread at http://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/kbd/2011-May/000301.html
