Quoting from the upstream bug report:

"Our recommendation is to never set the '-k' /keymap option at all these
days. Recent QEMU / KVM and GTK-VNC releases support a VNC extension for
sending raw keycodes, instead of localized keysyms. Thus is best to leave
off the keymap in the config, and just configure it inside the guest OS."

So the proper fix seems to be to have nova default to vnc.keymap = None from the start.
