Figured out a work-around, target keyboard in this example is "English (Dvorak)":

In "Keyboard Preferences", install the regular "English (US)" as the PRIMARY keyboard, put it first on the list.

Switch to the "English (US)" keyboard.

Open your Custom Shortcuts ( System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts ) and set them up in the "English (US)" keyboard as if you were using "English (Dvorak)". For example, if you want to bind "Shift + Ctrl + T" in Dvorak, set it up as "Shift + Ctrl + K" in "English (US)".

Once they're all set up, switch the keyboard to "English (Dvorak)" and continue life a usual.

Log out, when you log back in the keyboard will default back to "English (US)" so you'll need to change the keyboard to "English (Dvorak)" every time you log in, but hey it seems to work.
