Marking this invalid as I myself use a dvorak layout variant (bépo) and I have never seen this issue with the browser.
Thomas, is this something you can still observe?

** No longer affects: wpa (Ubuntu)

Title:
  webbrowser-app does not recognize alternate keyboard layouts

Status in Web Browser App:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Attempting to use the Dvorak keyboard layout in the webbrowser-app
  (and, by extension, all webapps) fails, with input reverting to QWERTY
  layout.

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  $ apt-cache policy webbrowser-app
  webbrowser-app:
    Installed: 0.23+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 0.23+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 0.23+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Expected behavior: webbrowser-app recognizes the layout chosen through the layout switcher
  Actual behavior: webbrowser-app recognizes QWERTY (the layout chosen during install), ignoring whatever is chosen through the layout switcher.
