It looks like distro-specific problem, please try to reproduce in VM on some other distro, e.g Neon.
If it happens again please reopen.

Also on Neon

Yes it happens in neon as well.
I have to add, eventhough kcmshell5 kcm_keyboard does launch it does not save any change made.

Does it happens on Neon run from .iso?

It seems people faced this problem already.
As I understand it, old .so still present on the system.
As a temporary solution, try to detect which one and remove it manually.

Hope it helps.

No, from the live system (ISO) it does not happen.

Removing "usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/kcms/kcm_keyboard.so/kcm_keyboard.so" from the system does indeed fix it.

Looks like the packaging failed to remove the old shared library file.
