A:

Solution is to Reboot Mac OS X into Safe mode and then add input.

Once added just reboot into normal mode. You will have your language input back.

Try creating a new user account and see if the problem persists when you are logged into that.

Normally that indicates a bad .plist or .cache file Home/Library, but finding the culprit can be difficult...

I have saw few suggestion to remove some of .plist files from User/Library/Preferences but didn't work.

Is Apple knows this issue and are they going to resolve the issue?

No, it’s a problem specific to one account and your machine, in the end you might have to move your stuff to another account if you don’t find another fix.
