I found a way in which this could happen (select Traditional Chinese and then select a city in a country without a Chinese locale, such as London; you'll end up with Simplified Chinese). This upload fixes that case, which I think is probably roughly what the original reporter was running into.

* Add /usr/lib/ubiquity/console-setup/locale wrapper that overrides the
output of locale with the value of debian-installer/locale if set; this
encourages console-setup to select an appropriate keyboard layout
(closes: Malone #60067).
* Don't set PARTMAN_UPDATE_BEFORE_COMMIT for automatic partitioning.
* Run partman-commit while generating the installation summary to make
sure that we have a partitioning summary even for manual partitioning
(closes: Malone #61572). Take care to stop partman-commit proceeding
past the confirmation question.
* Don't reset the locale or run localechooser again if the country
selected on the timezone page isn't one for which we have a locale in
the current language (closes: Malone #61387).
