The problem seems to have evolved since last time I saw it... now on a
fresh install I get the correct keyboard layout (and only that one) in
the login screen. However in the GNOME session started afterwards, I
get the US layout by default and the French one is only available as an
alternative (even though it appears first in the list).

Do you confirm that the login screen problem is solved for you too?
And that you also see the problem in the user's session on first login?

I submitted a ticket upstream about this:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780039 

But this is no longer gdm's fault AFAIK so this bug might need to be closed or
reassigned in this case.
