Well, Coburn, first I suspected that it was the UI for adding keyboard
layouts which was the problem. Then you made me believe that the issue
you are experiencing is somehow related to the installer. And now I
think — again — that it's the Settings -> Keyboard UI.
Please note: Keyboard layouts are *working* irrespective of which locale
is enabled. But indeed, the behavior of the overcomplicated UI for
adding layouts is affected by the selected locale.
You really need to be more specific if you seek others' attention to a
problem you are having. I have stopped guessing.

I didn't try the legacy ISO, but I was able to get the Hebrew keyboard
working by enabling a Hebrew locale. I shouldn't have to do that, but at
least there is a workaround.
Ironically, my English locale enables all kinds of Indian fonts, which tend
to clutter up my LibreOffice font menu, and which I will never be smart
enough to use. But the one keyboard I want to use...

I did verify this problem.
With a fresh install to a thumbdrive of Ubuntu 23.04, using *mkusb,
*i.e. a persistent live ISO, the only Hebrew keyboard available was
the primitive consonants-only keyboard. Sorry, I forget the name. I'm
not on that install any more, and I believe it is not one of the
options in the definitions file. The *il* definitions file with all
the other options was still present in */usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols*.
With a fresh install to a thumbdrive of Ubuntu 23.04 using a
standard install, i.e. hardware-agnostic normal install, there were
*no* Hebrew keyboards available, even when I ran *gsettings set
org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true*. The *il*
definitions file is still present and complete.
Ok..
I just made an install of 23.04 in VirtualBox, chose the basic Hebrew
layout in the installer, and it resulted in:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources
[('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'il')]
available at first login.
(I used the "legacy" ISO.)
