Yep, suspicious indeed. I built gdm3 with that function disabled:

And yes, that's it. You nailed it Olivier; thanks a lot!
Why didn't I see it when looking at that file many months ago... :(
Anyway, I have submitted a MP.

Switching language and format broken

Bug description:
In Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 it doesn't matter what display language I select
- the effective language is still the one stated in
/etc/default/locale. ~/.pam_environment is changed as expected, but
the variables set in /etc/default/locale override ~/.pam_environment.
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.
