Thanks for your bug report!
I'm going to check up a couple of things, and get back on the topic.
However, since I see that you filed the bug at bugzilla.gnome.org, where
the same issue has been discussed, I'd like to comment on that aspect
now.
By default, the options in the "Language" selector at GDM's login screen
are, as you say, available locales, and the selected locale sets the
LANG environment variable for the session. Up to now that has been true
for the GDM package in Ubuntu as well.
A few days ago, an Ubuntu specific solution to the issues reported in
bug 553162 (and duplicates) was released in Natty. As a part of the
solution, we are converting the locale picker to a pure language picker,
i.e. the selected option will only set language for translation of menus
and messages, while the Ubuntu GUI tool for controlling other locale
aspects such as date formats etc. will be the "Language Support"
application only. It means that there are also other reasons to
reconsider the options in the menu list, and it's not unlikely that the
Ubuntu conclusion will diverge from a possible change upstream.
Think it's good to keep this in mind when we discuss this topic.
