Confirmed on Ubuntu MATE. Attached is the ubiquity-dm log that seems to indicate that 'xkbcomp' is at fault.

I think this is fixed in ubiquity now:
ubiquity (2.21.17) vivid; urgency=medium
* Update the sed for the path to keyboard-
console-setup to account for changes from 1.108.
The fix should be available shortly.

Same behaviour when using a live environment, Vivid Xubuntu amd64 20150324.2 image.
It fails to request language for the live system, so the keyboard layout is wrong consequently.

@primes2h - can you either grab the latest image or sync the one you have and check again. The one I have here looks fine.
Closing as Fix Released since we already landed the fix, as mentioned above.
