I can't reproduce this with 'emacs -Q'.

Create '.emacs' file that contains just this single line:

(add-hook 'change-major-mode-hook
          (lambda () (set-input-method "english-dvorak")))

Now start Emacs.

Press 'M-x' or 'C-x C-f' or likely any other keybinding that would
activate minibuffer. Notice that on the first invocation the command
prompt does not appear in the minibuffer. The prompt appears only after
you have started typing command argument or pressing keybinding
repeatedly.

Thanks for your bug report.  It's an old behavior, the same effect can be 
seen in Emacs 24-27, except that during the first invocation you see a 
"[DV@]" in the minibuffer.  In Emacs 28 you don't see anything.

IIUC, what you want is to activate english-dvorak input method everywhere. 
To do that you can use:

(add-hook 'change-major-mode-hook (lambda () (or (minibufferp) (set-input-method "english-dvorak"))))
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook (lambda () (set-input-method "english-dvorak")))

If you don't want to activate it in the minibuffer, do not use the second 
line.

Does that solve the problem you have?

Thanks, this solves the issue.

But I have some other issues related to input methods, which I don't
know how to reproduce reliably. Maybe you can give me some hints and I
will report them as separate bugs.

One issue is related to the prompts, where the input is a single key
like "y" or "!", like the prompt shown when you have some modified
buffers while exiting Emacs. Sometimes I have to press the key as it is
laid on qwerty layout, but sometimes it is as on dvorak layout. This is
quite annoying, since I always have to guess, which layout is active for
the shown yes-no prompt.

The other issue is probably somehow related to Edebug. I am learning
elisp, so I often run Edebug just to learn how some functionality
works. Once in a while, when some breakpoint is hit, something bad
happens to Emacs in a way that each keymap that defines just basic
characters (I mean without modifier bits), like Info buffer, or Edebug,
or Gnus is turned to think that underlying layout is dvorak. So pressing
"l" inside Info buffer runs actually 'Info-next' command, which is bound
to "n", istead of going back in history. So to make keybindings operate
normally again I have to press "C-\" in every buffer to reset input
method. The other side effect of this is that read-only edebug buffer
suddenly becomes editable and I can enter text there, though mode line
still shows '%%'.

I don't use a global input method myself, so I cannot give you a general 
advice alas.  In my tests, with the two above lines, everything that is 
read in the minibuffer (yes-or-no-p, y-or-n-p, read-answer, ...) uses the 
Dvorak layout.  Without a recipe, I cannot do more.

Again, in my tests this doesn't happen, so alas I cannot give you an 
advice without a recipe.

Ok, let's try next recipe.

The content of .emacs file:

(add-hook 'change-major-mode-hook (lambda () (or (minibufferp) (set-input-method "english-dvorak"))))
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook (lambda () (set-input-method "english-dvorak")))

Then:

- Modify some file buffer.
- Press 'C-x C-c'
- You will be prompted with: "Save file ... (y, n, ., q, ...)"
- Press "q" as in qwerty layout. This will quit the prompt, meaning that
  the actual layout is qwerty.

But:

- M-: RET (y-or-n-p "test: ") RET
- then press "y" as in dvorak layout, this is "t" letter in qwerty. This
  will  exit the prompt, meaning that the actual layout is dvorak. 

So in each case I had to guess, which layout is active to actually
answer the prompt.

Another case. I use 'project.el'. When you select the project with
`C-x p p`, you are prompted with a menu like:

[f] Find file [g] Find regexp [d] Dired ...

Previously this menu used to respect qwerty layout only. I re-build
Emacs approximately once in 1-2 weeks and since some recent build it
started to respect only dvorak keys.

I don't have strong opinion here, but I think this is wrong. I think
"one letter prompts" should ignore current input methods, because they
are essentially keybindings just with modifier key omitted. An user
with Japanese input method won't be able to answer any of the prompt
unless she explicitly resets inputh method.

I'm not sure I understand what you want.  Where do you want the Dvorak 
input method to be active, and where do you want it to be disabled?

As I said earlier, if you don't want to enable english-dvorak in the 
minibuffer, all you have to do is to remove the line:

(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook (lambda () (set-input-method "english-dvorak")))

Then you'll have a consistent behavior: the Dvorak input method will be 
active in buffers you edit, and for everything else (key bindings, 
minibuffer interaction, help buffers, ...) it will be disabled.

If what you want is to activate the Dvorak input method only for some 
specific commands that use the minibuffer, you can use

(defun enable-english-dvorak ()
  (if (memq this-command '(find-file execute-extended-command switch-to-buffer))
      (set-input-method "english-dvorak")))
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook #'enable-english-dvorak)

and adapt the command list to suit your needs.

Does that solve the problem you have?

My preference here would be to enter text (longer than a single key
press) with dvorak, but to answer one-key-press prompts with dvorak
disabled.

But no matter what my preference is, things should remain consistent. As
you see from previous message, confirmation prompt after 'C-x C-c'
(seems to be `map-y-or-n-p`) must be completed with qwerty, but regular
`y-or-n-p` prompts must be completed with dvorak. Is this expected?

I want to enter text into minibuffer with dvorak, so I keep this
line. In overall, this works good, the issue is when you have to press
just a single key to complete the prompt.

Key bindings for any major mode ignore active input method, as far as I
can tell, input method is respected only for self insert commad. So
plain keys in dired or help window are always qwerty layout no matter
what input method is enabled, which I think is the right thing. Hence my
preference is that when I am expected to complete the prompt with a
single key in minibuffer I would like to do it with current inputh
method disabled. But by default this holds true only for some prompts.

Thanks. For me this should probably be something like this:

(defun enable-english-dvorak ()
  (if (or (not (memq this-command '(y-or-n-p map-y-or-n-p)))
          (and read-answer-short (equal this-command 'read-answer)))
      (set-input-method "english-dvorak")))
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook #'enable-english-dvorak)

Thanks again for taking your time to answer my concerns.

As far as I understand, input methods were not designed to do what you 
want to do, so while this is not what you expect, it's how things work. 
And indeed, C-x C-c is save-buffers-kill-emacs, which calls 
save-some-buffers, which uses map-y-or-n-p.

Indeed, it is possible (and perhaps easier for your use case) to reverse 
the logic.  I'd guess that you'll find other commands to add to that list 
as time goes.

My bad. I think this one is more correct.

(defun enable-english-dvorak ()
  (if (not (or (memq this-command '(y-or-n-p map-y-or-n-p))
