Please note that Windows tends to switch keyboard definitions unexpectedly - if you have multiple keyboards defined (e.g. the US keyboard both as "US international" and native US). The solution is remove (deactivate) all unneeded definitions (via the control panel).

Well, maybe not a "solution", but presumably fewer keyboard definitions woulde minimize the problem, which is simply caused by hitting Ctrl-Shift (a common enough occurrence), which switches to the next keyboard. One simple solution for that is to use the language bar key settings to assign specific Ctrl-Shift combinations, as in:
     Ctrl-Shift-1: first keyboard
     Ctrl-Shift-2: second keyboard
     ...
That way you can at least be sure of the keyboard before hitting your dead-key combinations.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. So far I have been using Ctrl+Shift to switch between languages. Using Ctrl+Shift+# to switch to a particular keyboard is an interesting addition in combination with using US - International keyboards.
