After much testing, it was determined that the installer-prompt was properly setting the locale, so it's not the issue. Calamares did indeed pick up on the changed locale (obvious through the session.log) but then changed the language used based on GeoIP data. I think the reason why those of us in the US couldn't repeat it is because (again, according to the log), the country code was being reported as "unusable."

Since GeoIP has been known to be problematic over time (the "unusable" country code being further evidence) and since the canonical user experience should be installing via the installer-prompt, we have opted to remove the GeoIP checking in the welcome module. For those installing via the live environment, it should be simple enough to select their preferred language, just as they would on the installer-prompt.

Fix is in calamares-settings-ubuntu 1:24.04.18.
