But when install is complete, in my instance at least, the computer goes to a command screen and says, before prompting for the just given password to open the encrypted disk: "Note: only US keyboard layout is supported".
Yes, you are absolutely right. It is a known bug, apparently unsolvable, or little interest in solving it. I think it is lack of different keyboard layout in grub2, but don't take my word on that. It could be plymouth.
The result is a failed install unless you happen to be in the US.
You can add more passwords to the encrypted filesystem. You could change temporarily the keyboard to the US one, and then type the same keys as on the UK one, which now will be different chars - no matter which. I'm unsure if you understand the idea? Then your password can be typed no matter what layout you have, and you just have to remember the one on the UK keyboard.
Perhaps the problem has not occured in other countries where language differences have focused more attention on internationlisation?
Actually, they are worse.
if this problem cannot be corrected, it would at least save the people time and frustration to tell them which characters are valid or not when they create their password, and to remove the offer of a non-US keyboard during install. I'm sure people would be happy not to choose invalid characters if they were told what they were.
