[10:57:25.383] rail_client_LanguageImeInfo_callback: Failed to switch to kbd_layout:0xb001040c kbd_type:0x4 kbd_subType:0x0

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by running a graphical WSLg app such as Emacs with the fr-bepo layout, then inspect the WSL logs around convert_rdp_keyboard_to_xkb_rule_names and the reported kbd_layout failure. Done means the fr-bepo layout is recognized in WSLg applications rather than falling back to US.
