As I have stated on bug 185947 my take on that bug here is that we are setting (in the language selector) a locale that is not available on the system: we only have the xx_XX.UTF-8 variant of various languages but we are setting the variant without the .UTF-8 part, i.e. xx_XX. Calls to SETLOCALE (3) with xx_XX as argument will fail (in opposite to calls with xx_XX.UTF-8) thus giving us the gdm error dialog.
IMHO *NOT* a gdm bug, since we shouldn't be setting a locale that the system doesnt offer. Either set the xx_XX.UTF-8 variant (in the language selector) or generate the xx_XX version.
