Stephen and I looked into this. Turns out you're correct about the new keyboard layout changer did cause this bug to resurface. Though the reason, was there was a bug in the old keyboard layout changer. It was using the first keyboard layout you had (such as english) for the shortcuts.
So a bug was fixed in the keyboard changer that was fixing this issue...fun. So there really was no correct solution implemented for this. (Though there does appear to be some shortcuts that do still work regardless. ex: super+w/super+s). We are going to have to discuss this and aim to land a fix in for 14.04 as there is no time for 13.10 :(.

Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout. Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly. Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard layout. Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non- latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with english layout. If you use english and two different non-latin layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.
