KeepassX exhibits the same behaviour for me in 11.10 (64 bit) (English UK - keyboard layout).
Specifically the @ and " symbols are transposed when using KepassX's Auto-type function.

Another workaround is to add a second keyboard layout to the keyboard preferences, (any layout will do); Auto-type then works as expected. (At least it does for me!)

To add a second keyboard layout :-→

System Settings - Keyboard layout - Hit the " + " button (bottom left of window pane) - select another keyboard layout.

[May have to log out/in again this to work.]
