Yes.

No, nothing out of the ordinary, only the installer pages I went
through.

I try with

I do

cat /var/log/kmscon-out | grep keymap-update

I see

Now I checked again; after going back to the installer via
Ctrl-Alt-F1, I can actually type Amharic.  Maybe it just took a long
time?  But it does not change back to English.

I have more lines in kmscon-out by now

It has still not gone back to English layout (except when I press
Alt+Shift).
