Originally reported in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/960096 using libxklavier 5.2.1

We had a problem where after autologin, the wrong keyboard layout group would get selected instead of the default.

Seems to be caused by http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libxklavier/commit/?id=18e75ba865e5f23b5e0b6926cc20ee82b0782084

To reproduce:
1) gsettings set org.gnome.libgnomekbd.keyboard layouts "['it','it\tnodeadkeys','it\tus']"
2) startx # assuming this launches GNOME Shell or Unity, haven't tested other environments)

Notice that your layout ends up being "it\tus" instead of "it". If you instead set your layouts to ['it','it\tnodeadkeys','it\tmac'], you DO NOT get the bug. That is, libxklavier is matching against the 'us' part of 'it\tus' for some reason.
