This seems to be an upstream issue, there is a weird interaction between the
keyboard kcm and the systemsettings global shortcut. As a workaround you can
set the Global Alternate shortcut for Switch to Next Keyboard Layout, and that
seems to be left alone (not reseted).

I've skimmed through the upstream bug tracker and, even though, there are many
related issues, I couldn't find the same issue reported. If possible, could
you send this report upstream and link the upstream bug in this report?

Happy hacking,
