You didn't mention what your host architecture was.  man qemu mentions a
-k keyboard language option, but says, "This option is only needed where
it is not easy to get raw PC key‐codes (e.g. on Macs, with some X11
servers or with a VNC display). You don’t normally need to use it on
PC/Linux or PC/Windows hosts."  You could try experimenting with that.

Sorry, I forgot to mention: The host is a Fedora i86_64 installation, and up to now I have used virt-manager for creation and management of the Win XP guest.

As a try, I started the guest with
    $ sudo qemu-kvm XP.img
and even without the option "-k de", this gave me the proper German keyboard layout in XP.

Back to virt-manager, the old behaviour reappeared. I would like to stay with this tool because of its easy ways to configure the hardware. Are there any hidden configuration slots that I have missed, or is it time for filing a bug report against virt-manager?

In case someone has a similar problem: I have filed a bug (including a workaround) against virt-manager:
