The problem:
On a system with encrypted root and using a non-us keymap such as DVORAK
programmer and setting this in the bootloader configuration, the relevant files
for GRUB to use the keymap are stored on an encrypted partition, thus
requiring the user to enter the password in an incorrect layout.
Suggested solutions:
Allow the user to declare that they wish to store all boot related files
in the clear on a seperate partition.
Grub could be built with the particular keymap required as the default.

I also have the same problem.
When I boot up GRUB uses a Qwerty keyboard layout when it prompts me for
a password instead of the layout I have specified in my Guix system
configuration. After enter the password with the Qwerty keyboard layout
for GRUB the other password prompts use my specified keyboard layout.
