$HOME is encrypted if you put it on an encrypted filesystem. Additionally, 
that Anaconda restricts what the passphrase for the key sounds like a bug in 
Anaconda. The user can change their keyboard layout. That's fine. It wouldn't 
cause data loss. However, it would make it more difficult to unlock the 
system, if they forget they've changed the keyboard layout and regenerated 
their initramfs. (If they do it globally, if they just do it once the OS is 
booted, then they're good to go.)

How is it "hostile to international users"? "international users" generally 
set their keyboard layout to the one they use primarily.. Just like everyone 
else :)
