According to this bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1025041

"According to an upstream bug report, the ANSI/ISO detection of the
keyboard is incorrect."

there's a walk-around:

       echo 0 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/iso_layout

I can confirm that this fixes the problem on macbook air 6,2 (2013) with
ubuntu 13.10.

Title:
  macbook keyboard layout maps the tilde key to something else

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. install ubuntu on Macbook Air 6,2
  2. press the key with the tilde ('~') written on it.
  3. see that is prints '§' instead.

  This is particularly annoying since the way to switch between windows uses the tilde.
