One session doesn't mean one locale used only. What about an university computer with a student account? You want the login screen staying on the locale you configured but let students being free to use an another locale, that doesn't mean it should change the default for the next users. Changing the locale after selecting the user is not easy because they is no easy way to change the strings on screen dynamically to an another locale, what gdm does right now is to reload the screen as you can notice. You can try to request those enhancements on bugzilla.gnome.org though if you want, that's what the upstream hackers are using, the ubuntu team doesn't have the ressources to working on those non trivial changes which are considered low priority right now
