I think you're using old / mismerged devd patch.

This line should be like:
[ 11.681] (II) The server relies on devd to provide the list of input devices.
     If no devices become available, reconfigure devd or disable AutoAddDevices.

This should be worked around by the next code:

269 +    if (attrs.flags & ATTR_KEYBOARD) {
270 +      /*
271 +       * Don't pass device option if keyboard is attached to console (open fails),
272 +       * thus activating special logic in xf86-input-keyboard.
273 +       */
274 +       fd = open(path, O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK | O_EXCL);
275 +       if (fd > 0) {
276 +          close(fd);
277 +          options = input_option_new(options, "device", path);
278 +       }
279 +    } else {
280 +          options = input_option_new(options, "device", path);
281 +    }

Btw, why both your keyboards are attached to console?
