Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: seahorse

The pop-up window for entering passwords to unlock PGP/GPG keys or SSH keys has 
wicked way of handling alternate keyboard layouts.
Possibly the focus-stealing-prevention may have an impact on the behaviour. 
I've tried excluding seahorse from the focus-stealing-prevention by using 
Compiz Settings Manager, and adding "&& !(class=Seahorse-agent)" to the list of 
windows mapped for focus-stealing detection.

It does not follow the 'Separate layout for each window' preference
strictly. Sometimes it pops up with the default layout (expected
behaviour), other times it pops up with the layout currently selected in
the invoking application window.

Main problem: Thunderbird + Enigmail, SSH in console, GPG in console
(seems to always take the current layout from the terminal).

An additional extra would be to have a keyboard-layout box in the UI, similar 
to the one when unlocking the screen-saver.
I am reporting this to Seahorse, because that is where I find it most obvious, 
it is possible, that this bug is more general. The screen saver suffers a 
similar problem, but has a keyboard-layout indicator.
