Same problem on a MacbookPro 3,1, french azerty keyboard, with an up to date Fedora 10 (fresh installed).

While setting the keymap on the login screen ("macintosh" entry in the list), the keyboard switch to the mac layout, @ and < (and so on...) characters works, but special characters (pipes, brackets) cannot be used.

Using the System > Settings > Hardware > Keyboard tool to switch to an "Apple"/"Macbook Pro (Intl)" (or any other keymaps for "Apple") give the same error. (tried in this "macintosh" session, and in a "latin9" session)

xprop result :
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "fr", "latin9", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "fr", "mac", ""

gconf-tool result :
 layouts = [fr mac]
 model = macintosh
 options = []

By the way, why the keymaps list at login screen, in the gnome-keyboard-properties tool and in the system-config-keyboard are not the same lists ?
