Dear Gunnar and Nobuhiro, it took me some time to debug the issue further, but here are some new information that I hope you will find useful:
In finally found that the AZERTY layout is imposed by the Japanese input system when the language I chose in Gnome is French from France, and switching it to French from Canada or of course English restores the QWERTY layout. So it looks like the problem did not have to do with the presence of the alternative canadian keyboard layout. I inspected my locales when using the different variants of French and the most prominent change is LANG, with either fr_FR or fr_CA. So maybe ibus or Mozc hardcode the input layout to AZERTY through a guess based on the fr_FR locale, assuming that all French speakers from France type on AZERTY keyboards ?
