Thanks for your effort to improve Ubuntu by reporting this bug!
It's the environment variables in /etc/default/locale that determine how
the login screen is displayed. The installer does not set LC_MESSAGES,
only LANG.
To have the login screen be displayed in a language independently from
the locale you select for regional formats, you need to click "Apply
System-Wide" on the "Language" tab in Language Support. That sets
LC_MESSAGES (and LANGUAGE) in /etc/default/locale. (In Ubuntu 11.10 this
measure is taken automatically if you change the regional formats
setting system-wide.)
Please let us know if this explanation addresses your reported issue
sufficiently.
