Alright, so this is fun. Apparently there's an image full of keyboard layout labels in Kubuntu's plymouth theme. There also appears to be code that handles the password prompt, my assumption is that code extracts a slice of this image to show the keyboard layout to the user. Evidently it's doing it wrong. So now the question is what changed to break it and how to make it do it right now.
