Right, this is my understanding of the problem.
I think the best we can do is use a keymap in the host to translate from
whatever keycodes we're getting to PC scancodes and then leave it up to
the guest to convert the scancodes based on whatever keymap they're using.
This is what rdesktop and qemu do.
