Did you select the 'C' entry in the new languagechooser?  If so, the fix 
I've submitted against the bug #250376 would not apply for this 
selection.  

For verification, could you check the /etc/console-tools/config for a  
fresh install?  If you can't see the setting 'APP_CHARSET_MAP=iso01', we 
have the problem.  (There may be an uncommented SCREEN_FONT_MAP line, 
buit it's not relevant at the moment.)

That's because, prebaseconfig script in languagechooser sets the console 
font and encoding in '/etc/console-tools/config', which in turn, is 
used by /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh to setup virtual consoles.  

P.S. I am sending a patch which fixes the console for 'C' selection by 
declaring its consoletype as 'kbd', but first we should verify the bug. 
Anyway, I think this bug should be reassigned to languagechooser.
