So I then manually changed the password to read Thanks#Brian by using the US mapping of Shift+3 to get the # symbol as seen in the screenshot.
I let the installer run and logged in successfully using Thanks#Brian directly as I normally would on my UK keyboard.
So, yes, it looks like Unity isn't picking up the keyboard map selection in the initial password entry screen (where you have the eyeball icon now).
Does this then relate to bug #1948716 where I noticed that Unity doesn't 'guess' my keyboard map correctly at the beginning and I have to manually select UK mapping?
