I confirm that a change in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-keymap.fdi
from: <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string"></merge>
to: <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de</merge>
fixes the issue for me in a clean way. I can login as expected and my locale is
not changed as in all other suggestions.

Thoughts on that setting being configurable:
- you should be able to change the keyboard model you are using inside an
installed system
- changing should be possible from the boot menu, it currently is not. Reason:
using a laptop with and without an attached additional keyboard. That is quite
a frequent szenario.
