Experiment complete.  Removing the stanza resulted in return to US keyboard.  
Running system-config-keyboard found UK keyboard already highlighted.  OK'ing 
resulted in UK keyboard being used.

Conclusion - bug in system-config-keyboard is fixed.
Question - if s-c-k knows that UK keyboard is the right one, why do I have to 
tell it to accept it?
