I've seen it before, and the dpkg-reconfigure usually addresses it.

That usually doesn't help if the dpkg-reconfigure doesn't.

I usually run local-gen manually then log out and log back in and things 
work.

Actually, looking at your error message in more detail, it looks like your 
LANG variable is set improperly.  For some reason your LANG variable is set 
to '"en_US.UTF-8"'--including the double-quotes.  It should be set to 
'en_US.UTF-8'.  Double check your root shell startup files and see if 
something could be wrong there.
