AFAIK, babel is loaded by default if you use any Language other than
English (US), be it as document language or for text parts.

Normally not.

This might be a bug (but see below).

The most comman source of this kind of problems is copy and
paste from a document in another language as the language attribute is
preserved.
Another bug is that, if you select a document part containing an inset
resetting the language is not (always) done inside the inset. Instead,
you have to go into the inset, mark the content and repeat the language
reset command :-( Combine this with the feature that the blue underline
will be not visible for the closed inset, you see the source of much
confusion.
