After more than a year, may I suggest the right way of handling this?
The lockscreen password dialogue should default to the keyboard that the current user uses for normal login, ie, the standard layout. Because that is what that user normally would get for login, and it will work as always, as expected. This should be an easy fix, and the only correct way of handling it

Title:
  Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock
  and login screen

Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock screen (to
  change keyboard layout for entering password).

  - Switch to some non-english layout (otherwise lock screen will not have layout indicator at all)
  - Lock the screen
  - Press your shortcut for changing keyboard layout (i.e. ctrl+shift) -- it will not change layout
  - Clicking layout indicator near password entry box works
