A small investigation into console-cyrillic revealed that it is no more than a bunch of key mapping definitions and a perl script executing binaries from other packages, namely console-tools or kbd, On my computer console-tools are not installed, so executables from kbd are run.
The culprit is kbd_mode -u This command switches keyboard to unicode mode, and _also_ causes all undesirable effects described in this and related bugs. The bug is easy to reproduce: do not install console-cyrillic, but simply add the kbd_mode -u command to /etc/rc.local.
