I have been playing around with a fresh install of Ubuntu GNOME this morning, and I still cannot replicate your issue with Gramps 4.2.2. I couldn't use Kubuntu because there is an installer bug in Virtual Machines at the moment.
During the install I choose English, then my location in Europe, then my keyboard (again a special European one). I end up with US English as default.
Then I do $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales, and choose only en_NZ.UTF-8, and set it as the default. After logging out, and logging back in, I get:
$ printenv | grep LANG
LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
gramps comes up without error.
So I manually set LANGUAGE as you have:
$ LANGUAGE=en_NZ:en
$ export LANGUAGE
$ printenv | grep LANG
LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
Gramps still comes up without error.
How did you go about selecting your language? Can you please give me the result of "$ locale -a"?
