Jorge, the same happened to me: switching layouts with the keyboard indicator
stopped working at some point (I don't remember exactly when, i.e. what I was
fiddling around with). BTW, you might want to put yourself to the CC: list for
bug 21767 - I think it's the same bug (not sure, though).

Sergey did some more investigation with me on IRC yesterday. During the
investigation, he suggested that I try a different setting in the keyboard
preferences menu:

navigate to Layout Options
uncheck 'Both Ctrl keys together change group.'
check 'Right Ctrl key switches group while pressed.'

After this, my keyboard indicator displays the kb layout correct, i.e. it's not
showing 'US' when it's 'Swiss German' and vice versa, anymore. You can try to
see if this workaround works for you. The bug still needs fixing, though...
