Your work-around works because it doesn't rely on any modifications done by /usr/sbin/lightdm-session where it loads the modifications found in either ~/.Xkbmap or ~/.xmodmap. The modifications to the keyboard layout found in these files are run, but are immediately reverted by some other process - which is a major bug that is really frustrating because it breaks a lot of behavior. This still needs to get fixed. Anything put in ~/.Xkbmap or ~/.xmodmap is not being honored in a very silent and man-year-wasting fashion.
