I failed to mention that this problem affects only XFree86, not text mode, which is why I thought it was an anaconda problem, not a redhat-config-keyboard one. Jeremy has clarified that redhat-config-keyboard holds the config data, even though it doesn't set up XF86Config itself.
Should be fixed in redhat-config-keyboard-0.9.7-2. Anaconda has it's own way of writing out the initial XF86Config file, but redhat-config-keyboards can now change the values in XF86Config after install. If anaconda is writing out the wrong values, please open a new bug against it. QA, please verify.
Still having issues with this one. The bug is actually in rhpl, so changing component and attaching diff.

Ah, the original bug was that redhat-config-keyboard wasn't modifying XF86Config. So I fixed that, only to find out that rhpl's keyboard list was incorrect. Will fix now.
Should be fixed in rhpl 0.34-1. Thanks for the patch, Jay.
Fix confirmed in rhpl-0.39-1.
