I tested and it still works for me (though that machine runs a pretty
old version of -current, I'll update and test again).

What version are you running?

I commited the fix in xsrc/external/mit/xf86-input-keyboard/dist/src/bsd_KbdMap.c

Fix scan code 50 key on non-us-USB keyboards (BSlash2 -> BSlash).
From macallan.

and it still seems to be present in -current and netbsd-6 sources:

        /* 49 */ KEY_BSlash,    /* \ | */
        /* 50 */ KEY_BSlash,    /* \ _ # ~ on some keyboards */


What does xev print when you press the key?
Does the key work for you outside X?
