No, that would be rude... But this is progress compared to the other
bug. :)
Can it possibly be something as simple as settings of environment
variables in e.g. ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc ? If so, and even if
~/.pam_environment is read as expected, such settings would override
~/.pam_environment, so to say.
It should be noted that before 12.04, language settings via Language
Support were saved in ~/.profile. There is migration code that should
have cleaned up ~/.profile from such entries, but still...
@Steve: Does it possibly ring a bell?

Title:
Cannot chose language with home on nfs export
Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “accountsservice” source package in Precise:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Impact]
Accountsservice incorrectly prevents you from changing the user language if HOME is on NFS.
[Test Case]
Can be reproduced anytime on Precise when logged in as a user whose HOME is on NFS.
[Regression Potential]
Minimal.
[Original description]
There is no possibility to choose language in an interactive way in Ubuntu 12.04, neither with XFCE4 nor with Gnome, neither with lightdm nor with GDM3 when home dirs aren't on local drive.
Error message:
gdm-session-worker[2009]: AccountsService-WARNING: SetLanguage call failed: not access to HOME yet so language not saved
That's a bummer, I have users from all over the world, they need to be
able to choose their own language.
