I confirm this for czech+english, also linked dup #152622 with the same
issue for italian+english.

To summarize: if english (us, in my case; but for en_GB as well based on
above comment) if secondary keyboard, the \| key behaves as on the
PRIMARY (non-english) keyboard, giving respectively ù, ç and dead umlaut
accent for italian (#152622), spanish (above), czech (here); with shift,
it is Ç for spanish and ' (apostrophe) for czech. I reproduced this for
French and Greman as well.

Workaround is to swap layout order, making english primary. It seems
that english keyboard definition forgets to redefine the |\ key. Linking
to known upstream bug.

Can someone (try this and) mark it confirmed?

** Summary changed:

- When having configured both an US English and a Spanish keyboard layout, the 
English layout doesn't have | (pipe) or \ (backslash) keys 
+ backslash+pipe key \| misbehaving on english layouts if english not primary
