On Breezy Release Candidate, I am glad to report a (partial?) success.

I can now successfully add multiple keyboard layouts in 'System > Preferences >
Keyboard' and my setting of a particular keyboard layout to 'default' (using the
checkbox) won't be lost every time I log out. :-)

(Thus, I don't need to apply the 'workaround' solution of unchecking 'Both Ctrl
keys together change group.' and checking 'Right Ctrl key switches group while
pressed.' instead.)

However, other keyboard-related problems still remain. These problems have been
described in other bug reports. Unfortunately, these bugs are somewhat
ill-labelled / intermingled and don't seem to get a lot of attention? Compare
with the bugs I mentioned in my last comment.

Let me mention this one particular problem:
I get the Swiss German layout when the panel indicator shows "USA" and I get an
"us" keyboard layout
when the indicator shows "Che". See bug 19159#c6
