The bug I had (number 1 in this mail) which was that certain languages were not available even though they were installed, has been resolved.
I had some stale gconf lock files : ~/.gconfd/lock/ior and ~/.gconf/%gconf-xml-backend.lock/ior. I simply removed them then re-logged and the languages are now available. This gconf bug has to do with NFS and/or system crashes. If you ever get weird configuration issues like this you can safely delete the lock files after closing all your applications, then re-login.
