This is more or less the intended behavior. You cannot and shouldn't be allowed
to change the xkb settings in the remote session when connected from an OS X
client. The XKB settings here are weird though - while they look better in the
forwarded message.
OS X is very special in this regard and seems to set "fake" values, which are
mapped differently internally (most likely via Quartz integration.)
If you change the keyboard layout in the remote session, you will only get a
very garbled layout - even though the same settings would be working fine from
Linux or Windows clients.
AFAIK the functionality to disallow XKB changes is broken though, so I wonder
why it's working in this instance.
Also, given that the session did start up, what do you mean by "fail to login"?
Getting a screenshot of a working session from a failed login would be rather
difficult...
