Hi!
After some weeks of observations, the bug still persists but it seems to strike less often.
Today, when I turned the computer on, it forgot the layout switching key
and the last of the three keyboard layouts I had set before.
Syslog showed nothing interesting, just three lines about cron:

--- syslog ---
Apr 18 09:24:40 Ponorka rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="5.8.1" x-pid="975" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] rsyslogd was HUPed
Apr 18 09:25:13 Ponorka anacron[1182]: Job `cron.daily' terminated
Apr 18 09:25:13 Ponorka anacron[1182]: Normal exit (1 job run)
---------------

"Ponorka" is the name of my computer :)

I am just thinking: where does the keyboard layout plugin store its preferences?
I got the impression from a comment somewhere that it actually reads a X.org config file
and modifies it. Isn't the culprit some component of the X.org system,
which regenerates that config file as a consequence of some completely unrelated
system (possible X.org) event?
