I'm afraid that I was misinterpreting the screenshots, because it was typing 'down' and 'ret' in quick enough succession for it only to show the previous menu item.
This test shows what's going on much more clearly: https://openqa.debian.net/tests/2401#step/locale/11 (that screenshot is the moment just before hitting return, and locking up) Sorry for the confusion.
