Key "accent grave" not received in guest

Description
When I run a Windows 10 guest on a Fedora 34 host, the "accent grave" key is not received at all in the guest. However, if I run the guest headless and connect over RDP using xfreerdp directly from my Fedora 34 host, the "accent grave" key works like normal. So something is wrong with the VirtualBox guest window on this platform.

What is the keyboard layout selected on the host? Ideally, please, attach the
layout.xkboutput fromxkbcomp $DISPLAY layout.xkbWhat is the keyboard layout selected in the guest? Does the guest layout have the same dead key in the same place and the layout on the host?
When you run normal, "attached" or "headful" VM, VBox tries to present the guest with the raw underlying keyboard, so to say, so you can have two completely different layouts on the host and in the guest.
