No, that won't be it. Frans' patch in #476873 (now applied with
modifications to trunk) covers this one. Here's the changelog snippet,
which should explain the problem:
* Force fallback to the default template if we encounter 'en' in the
locale list and no language-specific template for English was
found,since English text is usually found in a plain field rather than
something like Choices-en.UTF-8. This allows you to override other
locale variables for a different language with LANGUAGE=en. Thanks again
to Frans Pop. Closes: #496631
