Yes, the problem is when these differeing LANG and LANGUAGE settings.
Somehow you have that in your setup, so I worry that it might not be so
unusual. I haven't yet researched what the difference actually is between
these two environment variables, or whether one should have preference
over the other.

What should "en_US:en_GB:en" mean, by the way? Is that a prioritized list?
