I can verify this. Both with strace and doing a simple:
strings /usr/bin/nwrecover | grep XKeySymDB
There also seems to be a environment variable: XKEYSYMDB by which
you can point to the file of your installation.

I agree that that file shouldn't be parsed and used directly by any 
X-client....
Te resources should be asked for through the API!
So also in my view it is a bug, or rather sloppy programming until something
else has been proven.
