the scenario you describe is totally different, you don't select the language on the "grub like menu" and you boot to the live session mode and not to the "ubiquity only" (which is the third entry), there seems to be an issue with ubiquity in any case because if you go back and pick another language and do next the keyboard is not updated

It's now "English, US" but should be: "English (US) - English (US, intl., with dead keys)". Or, in other words, it should be: XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="intl" (additional remark in order to prevent any misunderstandings: the original Dutch keyboard (nl) has completely disappeared long ago, so all keyboards sold in the Netherlands have US keyboards which need the "intl" xkbvariant with dead keys, in order to be able to type accents) This is a regression, at least compared with Ubuntu 16.04 and earlier (I don't know about 16.10, 17.04 and 17.10).
