I can't actually reproduce this; I set /etc/default/keyboard to pc105/de/nodeadkeys (using dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration), and I now get German layout on both the VT and under X. I also get a correct layout with systemd.unit=multi-user.target (i. e. without lightdm at all). With "sudo systemctl status console-setup" I see that it worked correctly, so I suppose there is some VT switch/timing issue here which is different from your box.
