Still + 1

The latest Wheezy update as of this writing still contains a buggy Xephyr, version xorg-server-1.12.4. The patch

http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/12146/

still needs to be applied. But Xephyr needs to be recompiled with -enable-kdrive-evdev anyway for our purposes, so applying this one-liner won't hurt. Other than that, it works fine.

Too much patch will kill you

In the recent Debian wheezy there is a new Xephyr which has broken options parsing due to a mismerged patch. The bug is fixed by Keith Packard, I will post more soon.

Looks like the patch is not going to make it soon to Wheezy, so there you go, you can use the patch from freedesktop.
