I'm probably just restating your steps but I found the problem while doing:

 * Create account1 with password=aoeui
 * Click on account1 in gdm
 * Switch to keyboard layout "USA (Dvorak)"
 * Enter incorrect password or click cancel
 * Click on account1 in gdm
 * Enter password as "aoeui" on a qwerty keyboard
   - should fail but does not

This should be set now:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=09f5aa04496c0ca66db7654628bd94cbf3f8bcbb

but we really need redo layout handling.  it's implemented in a complicated way, doesn't provide the right user experience, and is all around suck.
