I tried the workaround offered by Grief, using xneur on bilingual Ubuntu 13.10 using Arabic as an alternative layout. Xneur is so buggy with Arabic, where it does not practically work.  Had to uninstall it.
Still the problem persists with system shortcuts, and libreoffice. 
Using Allow different sources for each window, and setting New windows use the default source in text entry settings, makes it less painful, and isolating the problem within libreoffice only, as the system would default to English for system shortcuts.

Bug description:
  New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce  old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout.
  Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly.

  Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system
  parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard
  layout.

  Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non-
  latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead
  of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with
  english layout.  If you use english and two different non-latin
  layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.
