I have this issue (or something similar). I upgraded from LTS (16.04?) to 17.04 and now my log-in screen and console are both UK keyboard layout rather than US layout. I am in the UK, but it seems unlikely that it would choose a layout based on location.
The only options on the login screen for keyboard layout at 'English (US)' and 'Chinese', so I don't know why it is choosing English/UK.
It is a problem because my password contains a '#', which is shift-3 on US-layout and the '\' key when using UK layout with a US keyboard.
Once I log in, then it is US as intended.
