comment 16 states that Windows gets it right and that Linux does not
even have a setting which gets it right.  Therefore, such a setting
would have to be created first before becoming default.  At least that's
my understanding of comment 16.

As somebody who uses a German keyboard (which I think Bryce does not, so
it'll likely be harder for him to grasp what's being discussed here) I
can certainly attest to the fact that I never quite found a setting that
worked exactly the way I expected it to.

Now, if somebody tells me about the package that contains the keyboard
layout definitions, I'll make sure that a ticket gets opened to create a
layout fully compliant with DIN 2137 standard (Germans are Germans ;-))
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Howto%3A%20Custom%20keyboard%20layout%20definitions
would suggest that it's xkb-data but I'm not sure how accurate or
current that wiki page is.
