Some additional information:
On a german keyboard the z and y keys are switched compared to an english keyboard. I have this bug on one my machines as well, and as my user password contains a "z" i always have to press the "y" button on my keyboard. In /etc/keyboard XKBLAYOUT is set to "en", i switched it to "de" and now it works like expected.
On my other machine i don't have this problem, the difference between the two is, that i've installed on the first machine (with the layout problem) 10.10 and then upgraded to 11.04 and 11.10. On my second machine i've installed 11.04 and upgraded to 11.10.
