Hi Colin,
Even if I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior you describe exactly, I noticed two things that contribute to incorrect results:
* locale settings happen after /etc/default/locale and ~/.profile have been sourced
* LANG is populated with a language value, which is currently not correct in Ubuntu, since LANG is used for regional formats.

I don't think that ~/.dmrc has anything to do with it; it's rather the Language value in AccountsService's keyfile that is fetched.

Anyway, I made a MP with a quick-and-dirty fix that ought to fix this bug for now.
