Comment(by cubranic@…):

 I figured out the cause of the problem: it's simply that the keycodes
 expected in the default config file do not match those on the Mac
 keyboard. Specifically, the Mod+[1..9] keybindings are defined using
 keycodes "i+9", while on my Mac (with a mini wireless keyboard) they are
 totally different, and more importantly, not in order.

 The fix is to instead of keycodes use the keysym, i.e., "1" instead of
 "#10", etc. (The drawback is that this will probably also bind the numeric
 keypad, but I don't have it and so can't test.) I'm attaching the diff
 against the default config.
