You are probably right when assuming that your observations are related to the fixes of this bug.

If your regional formats setting (second tab in Language Support) is something else but "Chinese (China)", your choosing "Chinese (China)" as the display language makes gdm set the LC_MESSAGES variable to "zh_CN.UTF-8". Since LC_MESSAGES overrides LANG, setting LANG before launching an app is not sufficient. Try this instead:

env LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 firefox
