Subscribing Gunnar, who did the $LANGUAGE related changes in gdm/language-selector. I believe that language-selector continues to set $LANG as well, it shouldn't have changed in that regard. As with earlier releases, the first tab controls $LANGUAGE (preferred order of language fallbacks for displayed messages, mostly not country specific), and the second tab controls $LANG (general locale settings which are also country specific, such as time/paper/number format).

I reinstalled my box a week ago, and didn't change any of this. My /etc/default/locale says

LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="de:en"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"

which looks both correct and backwards compatible to me. I don't believe that the installer changed in that regard either (I think it's ubiquity which writes the original file).

What was the contents of your /e/d/locale after installation? Did you mean that you had to _add_ or to _change_ $LANG there?
