I can confirm this with Jaunty on a PowerPC iMac (/proc/cpuinfo: NewWorld 66 iMac FireWire, PowerMac2,2 740/750) with the Apple USB Keyboard (model number M2452). I've attached a photograph to avoid confusion.

There are two issues:

1. Mapping of the UK key-cap symbols for many of the non-alphabetical keys is incorrect in console and Xorg
2. Selecting Apple-specific layouts fails under Xorg.
3. There is no "#" symbol and no obvious alternate way to generate it - a big problem when trying to edit shell scripts
