Happens to me too, using scandinavian QWERTY, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I bind "§" to tactical ability, which translates to "\" on whatever standard US layout the game is using, when restarting the game it's bound to tilde "~", if I try to change any of them in the config files, the key binding is reset completely.
Would post my own bug report too but I don't get a "submit" button in the form...

I believe it's the same bug as this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Keybinding-of-tilde-key-is-changed-after-game-restart/td-p/754...
... which has gone completely ignored since launch.
