Confirmed on Ubuntu MATE. Attached is the ubiquity-dm log that seems to indicate that 'xkbcomp' is at fault.

I think this is fixed in ubiquity now:

ubiquity (2.21.17) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Update the sed for the path to keyboard-configuration.config from
    console-setup to account for changes from 1.108.

The fix should be available shortly.

Same behaviour when using a live environment, Vivid Xubuntu amd64 20150324.2 image.

It fails to request language for the live system, so the keyboard layout is wrong consequently.

@primes2h - can you either grab the latest image or sync the one you have and check again. The one I have here looks fine.
