As Sylvain already explained, there are two levels of low memory 
installation. You were in the less severe one, which only disables 
translations.
We may be able to reduce the limit for the first level a bit before RC2.

We advise to always leave "standard" selected. If you choose not to, you 
indeed have to do so manually (or run tasksel in the "new-install" mode).

Was that during or after the installation? In principle d-i should always 
set up the installed system with the same keymap that was selected during 
the installation.
I assume you ran 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data' to set up the keymap? 
What was it set to before you ran that?
Can you find anything in /var/log/installer/syslog to explain this?

It should be set up correctly. And which mirror you use should not matter.
What does 'apt-key list' say?
