The layout switching bug seems definitely related to Automatic login. Prompted by Comment 55 above, I enabled Automatic login (System -> Administration -> Login Window, tab Security). After reboot, layout switching fails to work exactly as described in this bug. Disable automatic login, log off and back on, and layout switching starts to work. Tested on a fresh install of hardy.
