I can reproduce this.
However, Chinese seems to be a corner case here.
But I think there is a way, how you can get, what you want:
Could you try to start the installer in the expert mode (so when booting
the installer ISO, select "Advanced options" and then "Graphical expert
install" or "Expert install").
Then you are prompted to choose language, country and system locale.
That way, you can choose
Chinese (Traditional)
China
zh_TW.UTF-8
(The third choice is the key here!)
That should give you what you want.
Can you confirm this?
