Actually right after my mail to this list I found your site by googling, 
and tried out those very same lines for B.4.1 by pasting them into my 
preseed file (not that I have a Swedish, keyboard but I thought it would be
easy to change to de afterwards. Those lines did not work for me though.

I must try out what happens in a qemu, maybe something is weird in my
UEFI boot?

I don't quite get the distinction between "tasksel/first" and
"tasksel/desktop". When I do a "tasksel --list-tasks" in the shell, it
is just one list of all tasks (with various desktops mixed in).

What eventually did work for me was putting stuff in "auto mode" like
described in B.2.3, in grub.cfg. 

Putting language=en country=AT locale=de_AT.UTF-8 keymap=de 
desktop=lxde-desktop 
there seemed to work (I am not currently at the machine and had to stop
in the middle of trying stuff out).

Is it possible, that some of this stuff is broken/behaves differently on
a real, physical, UEFI machine?

I really tried. I was hoping to get some weird Swedish keyboard, but to
no avail, the configuration dialogs just appeared anyway ;)
