I think I might have found the issue for this. In
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15473092/, I have the partial syslog output
from the ISO install, from the moment the language is chosen up to cd-
rom detection step. In lines 22 to 24 you can see that setupcon is
called but it errors out with because gzip is not available in that
environment.

Mar 22 16:22:59 main-menu[250]: INFO: Menu item 'console-setup-udeb' selected
Mar 22 16:23:00 main-menu[250]: (process:1203): /etc/console-setup is not 
writable. No files will be saved there.
Mar 22 16:23:00 main-menu[250]: (process:1203): gzip is not accessible. Will 
not save cached keyboard map.

If you drop into a shell in the installer environment and run setupcon --help, 
you get:
Usage: setupcon [OPTION] [VARIANT]
Sets up the font and the keyboard on Linux console.

So, I think lacking gzip in that environment makes setupcon fails which
makes the console-setup-udeb item fail to run and is quietly skipped.
