Olivier: Is /etc/default/locale written to also?? That's not what Sebastien and I observed. I'll go to a (relatively) fresh artful install and recheck then.
If that's the case, the issue may not be so urgent. But it's poor design, since it means that if a user changes language, s/he changes it for all users on the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.

In Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 language switching takes effect, but the reason for that seems to be that /etc/default/locale is changed as well, so when a user changes the display language (or format), it changes it for all users on the system. The overriding by /etc/default/locale is probably caused by some other package(s) but g-c-c.
