Looks like we are missing updated xkeyboard-config-2.21-3.fc27.noarch package in Beta. I have still not tested it as we need Workstation iso image updated with xkeyboard-config-2.21-3.fc27 package. I will request Fedora QA group to evaluate if this can be blocker or exception bug but marking it as blocker currently. I tested Indic languages only so this is affecting Indic languages only I guess.
I see the update has been already submitted for F27 stable -> https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-e38be801d8
This is not a bug in anaconda. It is a bug in xkeyboard-config, which has been identified and fixed recently, as you've noted.
Proposing as a Beta freeze exception. This fixes Indian keyboards in anaconda. The patch looks very small, see bug 1469407 comment 31. It already has some karma in Bodhi (comment 3). +1 Beta FE from me
+1 FE from me too.
+1 FE
Marking as accepted FE.
Update from comment 3 has been pushed stable, the fix should be part of 20170921 compose. We need to test this.

Thank you Kamil and Sumantro for your quick help and getting this update into Beta iso image.
