For me the issue was lightdm / unity-greeter not respecting /etc/default/keyboard, but using ~/.dmrc instead. That contained a wrong (old) keyboard layout.

I have one system where I need to have such a config file (due to an odd display that needs a modeline), and in 11.10 the X keyboard layout was defined by /etc/default/keyboard. After upgrade, the layout set there ("no") seems to be ignored, and a US keymap is used instead. As a workaround, setxkbmap does work. Behavior is correct on system that don't use an Xorg config file.
