Here's what happens to me. It's very similar but not identical. My primary keyboard layout is the Dvorak. I used that even to install the system. Sometimes my husband needs to use the computer in the morning, so in system / preferences / keyboard I set the default to USA, and close down the computer. In the morning, my husband boots up. The keyboard preferences are still set to USA, but the actual keyboard is Dvorak. In other words, the identities have changed. Dvorak is now USA, and USA is now Dvorak. But not entirely. When I get up, I open hnb, a terminal program. When I press the keys, the letters come out Dvorak even though the preferences are still set to USA. But then I press CTL-S to sort, and the keys register as USA! The only way to straighten everything out is to re-boot with everything set to the installation keyboard, which is Dvorak.
So basically, when the computer boots, it goes toward the installation keyboard, and disregards the changes in preferences / keyboard.
