A workaround that lets you select your preferred languages by
manipulating the list of recently selected language (note that the
complete list in "other languages" is still empty)
sudo gedit /var/lib/gdm/.gconf/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/%gconf.xml
you will see something like this:
<entry name="recent-languages" mtime="1255452885" type="list"
ltype="string">
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>de_DE.UTF-8</stringvalue>
</li>
</entry>
just add another list item:
<entry name="recent-languages" mtime="1255452885" type="list"
ltype="string">
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>de_DE.UTF-8</stringvalue>
</li>
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>ja_JP.UTF-8</stringvalue>
</li>
</entry>
