This problem occurred to me only when I had something other than "Use system defaults" configured for the keyboard layout through the settings manager (Settings manager, Keyboard applet, Layout tab).
When I set this to "Use system defaults", the keyboard pannel applet remembers the settings correctly and works as expected.
Please try and confirm if it helps for you as well.
