I removed all KDE2 packages and installed them; I wiped out my .kde as

See above. In this case there is no previous installation.

I have no ~/.kde (because it is new install of KDE) and
/usr/share/config/kdeglobals contains whatever is instaled with kdebase:
{pts/1}% cat /usr/share/config/kdeglobals

Answering Pablo: is it KDE bug. Old bug actually. KDE tries to use
language for messages that is different from real local settings in KDE.
Defining KDE language setting in startkde to agree with system locale
was very good workaround.
I repeat - please, either revert this change or fix KDE to *really* use
its own language settings (even if they are just defaults). It means
that KDE comes up in English by default which is still worse as it was
before but leaves user with usable GUI.
