Uli, can you please retry and give the exact error message of mkgmap?

I guess that one of your tile contains a large polygon that is now 
contained completely in the tile due to keep-complete. Maybe a part of 
mkgmap has a problem with this large polygon (e.g. subdivision handling).
But this is wild guessing unless you can provide the exact error 
message. Wee need all information about your steps to create the 
germany+iceland.osm.pbf and your mkgmap parameters and style file so 
that we can try to reproduce the error.

Thanks
